[QUOTE="gcc, post: 601882, member: 15463"] I'm sorry to hear about your son and glad to hear from you. This is a very frustrating condition since there seems to be so little help. My son started hurting in his right hip about a year ago and within a couple of months was in extreme pain and would barely get off the couch or leave the house for a couple of months. He was admitted to the hospital for a couple of days until diagnosed with idiopathic chondrolysis. He had to use a cpm machine for 12 hours a day which was very hard and he got very depressed. He hated it but I think it did help stop any kind of muscle contractures from him not moving. After a few more months he learned to deal with the pain enough to get up and about with crutches and the hospital referred him to the chronic pain clinic. The aleve made his stomach upset but he is now taking tramadol (ultram) and lamictal (lamatrogine). They are helping and he also saw a therapist at Childrens Hospital for pain management tools and cognitive behavioural therapy. He is also doing physical therapy and is managing to get around with just one crutch now but I think he has just learned to manage the pain as opposed to the condition getting better. It has been awful for him as he was a soccer player and snowboarder and his whole life has been turned upside down. He is seeing the orthopaedic surgeon now every few months and it seems to be just wait and see - no real idea of if or when he will get better. I would love to hear more about your son and how he is doing so please post back. [/QUOTE]
