Arthritis With Rash
20 Answers
I have had a bad flare up of what I think is hip arthritis, very painful in the groin and down leg. I can hardly lift it and I am now limping. Now I have noticed red blotches on skin at top of leg. Help ! Thanks all

I don't know (cos I'm not a doctor!) if the following article has any useful info in it, but I recall finding the same one for a friend & they said it had helped.
Please accept my apologies if I've wasted your time & I wish you all the best :-)

Could it be Erythema ab igne? My daughter has it on her back after prolonged use of a hot water bottle.

I was going to mention psoriatic arthritis as well. I never knew such a thing existed until I saw an advert for a website about it in the US. People that get that have usually had psoriasis in the past though as that and arthritis are both auto-immune disorders. Sciatica gives pains down the leg. You could try Paracetamol for the pain.
A tip I was given when I first started to have hip issues was to put a pillow between your legs when trying to sleep/rest and lying on one side.
It definitely helped me get a bit more comfortable when trying to sleep.
Hope the rash stays away. Last time I had a weird blotchy rash on my thighs it was diagnosed as pityriasis rosea.

Hi again all, I think the rash was from the heat pad and I panicked... It has gone completely. I Got some Naproxen and Codydramol from doc on Thursday, helped a lot with pain, but I am feeling very sleepy and a bit sick as per Side Effects I presume, pain not so bad now although still 'there', and I can lift my leg and walk almost normally, so I stopped taking them and will stick to Paracetamol which local pharmacist recommended. One of the leaflets on these tablets says shouldnt use if I have thyroid problems ( I am on low dose of Levothyroxin) and other leaflet said shouldnt take if I have high cholesterol (I am on simvastatins) so thought it best to stop taking the tablets. Just hoping the pain goes away completely and soon !
