I can relate to this Janet, my husbands lower disc's are fused together caused by his job however was able to control the pain by phisio (sp) and sometimes meds.
A couple of years ago his back pain got worse and went down his leg he went to the dr and it was his hip so had a hip replacement.
The pain all went in the back hip and leg just sometimes maybe when he does to much like this weekend put a lot of fence panels up he was in some pain but on resting is okay.
I had him home for six month's at the begining found it hard but once into a routine was sad when he went back to work.
So do not panic may be not so bad, any way you can moan to us all here.
Good luck to you both.
