Why do my hip joints hurt?

Why do my hip joints and shouler joints hurt?

• Answer:

  There are a few things that can cause pain like that; the best thing to do would be to go to your doctor and let them decide what to do next. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect all your joints and hurt when you wake up, get exaccerbated when you move, and cause you to feel stiff. There are a lot of new medicines out that actually stop progression of this disease. Also, keeping the joints warm and flexible helps. Sciatica can start at your hip and cause shooting pain down your legs, but it can also cause a very painful aching down your leg as well. I have had the best success with homeopathy for sciatica, but a lot of people use herbs like elderberry or see a physical therapist. Old ankle sprains or falls can misalign joints causing pain, discomfort, and chronic irritation of the nerves. A chiropractor might help a lot.
