Primary problems are severe pain in and around both hips/upper thigh muscles when initially arising from a sitting position. Once in stride, ambulation is just about normal with little pain. When pain is present, it is excruciating but dissipates within minutes. MRI of right hip showed strains of gamelli and piriformis muscles plus calcification healing of tendon on right. General, overall health is very good. Well controlled hypertension (developed during chemo) with medicine. I am very active and have always walked a lot daily. Despite current problems I do exercises and continue to walk daily. Does this really sound like it is sarcopenia? Should I see a neurologist? Pain meds do not work for me. Please help.
