Heat and tight clothing (including underwear) is something to avoid. Hot tubs, heating pads, or steam rooms will now give me minor warnings to stop the heat....so I am very careful with my remission.
If you search this forum there is a good link on AAFP doctors website on MP. It can be confused with trochanteric bursitis of the hip.

Hi Mrs. D,
My MP followed surgery for uterine and R ovarian tumor, also. I hope you did not think I was suggesting that YOUR MP was temporary. I have read that for some, it does go away shortly after beginning but it is usually when some extraneous force, like a toolbelt, or tight clothing was the "cause". Remove the cause and the pain goes away. Ours, were both probably due to surgical insult. I also do not expect full nor permanent relief from the injections but the last one I had has stopped the lightning bolts that wake me from a dead sleep. Being hit with a stun gun while sleeping has finally gotten a bit better.
I have been disappointed that most of the people that posted on this forum have not been around for a long time. I looked up the people that posted a while back and they have not been logged in for a year or more. Thanks to you and Glenn, I feel a little less alone.
Thanks,
Hopeless
