When you say upper right quadrant do you mean upper right abdomen? If so then I had the same a few years back and was eventually diagnosed with gallbladder disease. I had my gallbladder removed which was an easy procedure. Maybe go see another doc and ask for some investigation? Do you have digestive problems too? Lisa x
Is it both hips or just one? Either way, could it be something either postural or to do with walking? I’ve had upper right quadrant (of my bum!) on one side due to the way I walk. I have foot drop and the whole of that leg is iffy, which is why I get the pain, it’s related to ‘hitching’ my hip as I walk. It too is very uncomfortable turning over in bed etc.
The ‘hug’ would more usually be around your chest / abdomen. It could be due to disease activity (ie. relapse) as indeed could the hip pain.
Whatever it’s caused by, the GP shouldn’t just ignore it. In fact if you are taking dihydracodeine and still having pain, then there would be more reason to investigate further I would’ve thought.
Do you have an MS nurse who you could talk to? Maybe if your hip pain is more to do with something that you are doing that causes it, a referral to a physio would be useful?
I had gallstones in 2002 ish. Luckily I passed them but spent 3 day’s in hospital virtually unconscious due to my blood pressure dropping with the pain. This pain also comes down my neck and shoulder as well. Major digestive problems earlier this year led to biopsies and microscopic colitis. Doctors Aarrggghhh! Sonia.
