Hopefully they default to PT! I had a bone bruise on my knee in July, will be done with six weeks of PT by Thanksgiving, and it's done wonders.i love my therapist, when I'm not cursing him out for being a sadist...
Well, this kinda is the second opinion. I first started looking for help with the pain back when I lived in Topeka. The doctors there couldn't find anything wrong, so I've just been living with it.
Problem is, the pain has gotten radically worse. Not sure how much longer I *can* 'just live with it'.
Surgery would actually be a relief; I hate being on drugs.
Again, I don't know yet what the scans will show. If it's something they can fix, great. If not . . .
I'll cross my fingers for you. My surgery isn't until mid January. And unless they can't find the parts it will be a relatively simple 'replace the plastic parts of the hip replacement'. Of course the original was put in in April 1991, so if they can't find the parts....
Well, I have an appointment with the orthopod on Tuesday. We'll see what he has to say.
I'm sorry for your troubles but I thought you wrote 'arthropod' there for a minute and I wondered how one of those could make it through medical school!
Good luck to you. Pain sucks.
