Hip and iron quiz... plz help?

Question

In feb this year i found out that i am anemic. The doctor have put me on iron supplements for 3months, a month after that i have had another full blood count and ferritin test done. The result had no change so the doctor told me that he is going to put me on the supplements again for 3 months, if it hasn't change then i will get Iv iron therapy.The doc said the only problem is heavy periods, cause i was for a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy and they found nothing

My question is....

What exactly will they be doing with iv iron therapy?

how is it perform?

how long does it take?

How many times will I have to go a week?

How will they know if you are allergic to it?

If you are experiencing it please help me

And then . . .

I have hip pain since last year November. In the beginning it come and goes, but its worst now. I'm only 20 years and its very strange. Its difficult to stand up straight or my movement is restricted. I told my Physician about it and he has send me for x-rays. The x-rays came back and theres NOTHING wrong. I still have the pain, its at the back of my hip and its a catching pain

If you know what this might be or have any other info it will be highly appreciated. What can I do or who must i go and see?

Plz help me

Thanx

Answer 1

im not sure about the anemic thing but i recently had 2 hip reconstruction surgeries and a back surgery and im only 17.  i was born with hip dysplasia and they didnt find anything wrong with me for 4 years even though i complained of pain all the time.  it mainly hurt in the back of my butt/hip area and was sore from playing sports and running.  i would ask your mom if you have any family history of hip dysplasia because my mom had it and it passed to me.  i would ask your doctor about this because it took forever for me to get diagnosed even though i always had it.  you might want to see a specialist as well because your doctor may not know what to look for.  you can email me if you have any more questions at [e-mail] good luck!
