Fibromylagia advice 

Has your hip alignment problem existed from much earlier or is it a recent development? If this has happened recently, you should visit your doctor and ask for advice, as this is unlikely to have anything to do with fibromylagia. Fibromylagia fundamentally involves chronic pain and sensitivity to touch, but can include other symptoms such as anxiety, depression, muscle weakness, memory loss, and problems with processing information and with the digestive system.




Even if your hip condition is an old problem, it is best for you to visit a doctor for treatment. Fibromylagia is a complex disorder and requires professional help in order to successfully cure or at least manage the condition. Only a doctor will be able to tell you which of the available treatments is suitable for you, and this may also require some trial and error.


Your hip problem is a complication that is at least partly responsible for your inability to stand up straight. As mentioned before, one of the symptoms of fibromylagia is muscle weakness. This weakness combined with the misalignment of your hips is what is preventing you from standing straight. You will quite certainly need medication to manage the symptoms of fibromylagia, but if this is not sufficient then surgery may be needed to address the hip problem.
