Are pain and stiffness in the hips symptoms of fibromyalgia or arthritis?
Patient: Is it sciatica or fibromyalgia or arthritis. Horrible pain when getting up so stiff even if I did just sitting for a couple minutes. The one side of rear down to the bone is very painful but not all the time to change shifts to my hip feels like it catches and then my thigh muscle gets like twisted. I ve broken my tailbone about 40 years ago when I was in Elementary school slipped off the high dive and landed on cement. Never had any major problems. Chiropractors can t help me anymore he didn t know what else to do. It s been going on for about five years and just gets worse as time goes by. Any any information would be appreciated. Doctor: Hi,  The symptoms are due to arthritis.  You can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
