GP has just phoned me. She has arranged an x-ray of my pelvis including right hip and a rheumatoid factor blood test to check for rheumatoid arthritis. If these tests are negative then she will continue trying to work out what is wrong. She completely agreed that it is not normal that I can't walk for more than 10 minutes before problems with the hip and would also have arranged a lupus test because of my symptoms but won't because I've already had that tested. So relieved that she is continuingt to investigate what is wrong.
 
always a help when the proffesionals listen to you and want to invetsigate to find the cause- hope they do soon for you, good luck🙂
 
Good to hear that they are pursuing possibilities Amanda, I hope they pin it down so you can get some relief and proper treatment for the problem 🙂
 
I am so pleased that something is being done for you, it's about time Amanda. Take care Sheenax
 
thank you everyone. I thought the GP was happy that I hadn't got lupus but when I got to the hospital she had also asked for another lupus test and an anti clotting test - five lots of blood😱
