I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.

I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.

Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.

I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

You poor thing!!!! I have a bad hip so I can sympathise. I know how much it can hurt and it's terrible when nothing can take the pain away.

The best thing I can recommend is that you rest it as much as possible for now and try to alternate between the ice and the heat pads. Also see if you can take some good, strong painkillers.

In the meantime, I really hope it starts to feel better. I don't know if you have ever been to see a chiropractor but they can be very helpful and give a lot of information on how to treat pains such as yours. Otherwise, if you haven't already been sent for it, physiotherapy could work brilliantly, so you might want to discuss that option with your doctor as it can work wonders in the long run.

I'm so sorry for the pain you are in. I know it hurts but try to cope through it because you know it will get better. If you need to talk at all, please feel free to contact me.
