Ellen I have hip pain. Originally I was told that it wasn't associated with my disease and it was dismissed as trivial.
The pain started limiting movement so the haematologist ordered an MRI of my hip (I've had lots of steroids). It turned out to be a torn cartilage, arthritis etc. I don't know how true this is but I was told that chronic anaemia can cause lack of blood supply to joints etc and they are more prone to injury without significant trauma.
I suggest you ask for an MRI because X-rays and CTs don't always show cartilage tears.
Cheers.
