What is name of medical condition causing hip and knee pain?
A physiotherapist has diagnosed a condition that I have, but has not told me a name for the condition. Does anyone know? The curve in my lower spine is more pronounced than normal, this causes my pelvis to be more tilted than normal, and that causes my thigh muscles to be shorter than they should be. The shortening of my thigh muscles pulls my hip and knee joints out of alignment, causing pain in my hip and knee joints.
There is no cure for this condition apart from physiotherapy exercises and pain management, but there has got to be a proper medical term for it with more details on the web.

1. is it "curvature of the spine"2. This sounds like a condition called scoliosis which is a curvature of the spine.
3. From typing a lot of X-ray reports, I know that the exaggerated spinal curve is called "lordosis", which you could try looking up. It sounds like a very unpleasant condition, and I hope and pray you will find the best treatment and/or a miracle. I was healed of having one leg shorter than the other through Christian prayer, so there is hope for you too! ( plus, I have found a useful sports injury page about lordosis which recommends some exercises....)
4. sciatica
5. The medical term for curvature of the spine is scoliosis, which can affect the pelvis, making it tilt. They do have spine braces which are meant to correct the curvature, but it has to be worn for a long time, and it is usually recommended when scoliosis is diagnosed when a person is in their preteens, as they are still growing and it can be easily corrected.
6. sciatia results from a compression of a nerve resulting in numbness. I am not sure about pain though
