Sorry to hear about all your pain. Since you’ve had some other similar issues, maybe it is just nerve issues. I’m going to throw something out there not to scare you and hopefully not the case for you, but in case they can’t figure it out, you’re not improving and things just aren’t adding up. I know you said there was no precipitating event, but these two cases popped into my head when reading your story.

1) My brother was 45, thin, fit and so healthy. He was at the gym and thought he injured his back when unrelenting back and pelvic pain started. It was excruciating to sit and painful to walk. He went thru a year of PT that only made it worse. Started losing the use of one leg. The pain was unbearable. He remembered he had similar pelvic pain two years earlier after golfing but it went away. The 4th (!) doctor he saw for this noticed a shadow on the original X-ray or scan and pursued it. Bottom line, he had stage IV lung cancer and never smoked a day in his life. His pelvis was 40% gone and he had tumors in his spine. Although they found a couple tumors in his lungs, he never had any respiratory issues throughout his battle, just issues with all the metastases.

2) My colleague, 50 year old man, thin, fit and healthy was on his daily jog and suddenly had unrelenting hip pain. Thought he hurt it jogging. After 3 weeks of pain, he sought treatment and was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. Never smoked a day in his life and didn’t have any respiratory symptoms.

Because they were young and healthy and you are young and healthy, it’s easy to make assumptions of what it is or isn’t. Be sure to have a complete work up and consider what might seem to be a less likely scenario if you feel that the doctors are guessing or if PT makes it worse. Again, I hope your issue is simple and transitory, but I know the added pain my brother endured because of a misdiagnosis and assumptions. I hope his story can help someone else one day. Prayers for you and quick healing.
