Pain between hips...

I have experienced pain all over, but more recently it is between my hips, and not including the hips.  COuld it be a herx?  It is hard to walk, causing my legs to step to the side, rather then forward.  I do not have any control where my next step will be when this happens.  Did anyone else go through this?  I feel like I am completely unballanced!

Thanks!

For lack of better medical words, I would say is in my butt! LOL

It is not the muscles, but the bones.  It does not hurt in the hips, but right between the hips and the tail bone also hurts.  I don't know how to describe it, it feels sort like sciatica, it moves around from one minute to the next, but it does not go down my legs. I used to experience sciatica (Sp?), right after my car  accident last year, due to disk damage in my back. This is different, but it leads me to that exact uncoordinating walk. I was afraid to pick the baby up today, so we were in the stroller and on the floor a lot. I don't know what I am going to do in the winter, as she gets heavier and I can't take her outside for so long!  Not sure if this is herx or more problems due to the accident, which I believe brought back my lyme symptoms, which were almost completely gone.

LOL....I didn't want to assume (smile) anything....if it goes on longer than a herx or a flare, I would check with your doctor. If you had not had the accident, I would think let it run it's course..all of this IMHO.

Epsom salt bath?

Is it better today?

Pain is back today... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I wish I knew what is causing it...

Mamyou:

Brain fog today: 0% and

Yesterday was a very good day for me, as well.

It is weird, I don't know if it is a herx or not. The good part about it is that even when I have brainfog, the pain is not as bad and vice versa. The days I am in a lot of pain + brain fog are the worse! I feel so beat down!  I don't know if it is lyme, herx, or back injuries pain from my car accident. I sure would like to figure it out and maybe I would know how to prevent it. Today is not going as low and in is in my back at the waist area as well, going down the back, but the tail bone is not hurting.  If I walk sort of dragging my feet, without moving my hips, it is bearable.  If I try to walk normally, pain goes in my hips and down my tights, like a sciatica would. 

How are you doing on the new protocol? Feeling better or worse? Herxing?

I have been doing pretty well  (meaning I can take it, and it is not overwhelming me, trying to stay busy and keep my mind off of how I feel), except one day this week in the afternoon when pain was everywhere, I could not walk right, and lots of clouds in my head, my kneese where not hurting but very very weak, I thought I was going to colapse.  I layed down on the floor for a few hours, and I started to feel better.  Also, I felt so sick, I thought I was going to through up!

Hope you are doing better!
