Question:

I am a 55 year old woman suffering from Fibromyalgia. My bone density test indicated Osteopenia in my left hip. I presently have pain in my left hip, sometimes radiating down my left leg. What medical attention should I receive? Thank you for your consideration.

Answer:

The pain in your hip is unrelated to your osteopenia.  It could be related to arthritis, bursitis or a number of other conditions.  Your primary care physician should be able to refer you for some diagnostic tests or to a specialist.
