I had major problems walking as it was extremely painful. Throughout 2016 the pain spread from the hip down the outside of my right thigh, under my knee cap and down my shin. I had no power in my right leg making it impossible to walk upstairs without walking like a toddler and pulling myself up via the banisters. I could not walk far. My GP injected the hip. This helped for a short while. I tried physio unsuccessfully so then paid to see a chiropractor. In March 2017 after 4 treatments I decided to ask for an MRI scan as the pain was seriously affecting my life & I needed to know what was causing it. The MRI scan showed I had an inflamed disc which was leaning on a nerve. The consultant prescribed a spinal injection which my GP said was only likely to help in the short term. Even though I hate taking pain killers I decided that I would take them as opposed to having a spinal injection. I took the pain killers once a day and only when I knew I was going to be out and about. I also started taking the VITALITY turmeric capsules (2 a day - one morning and one evening).
