    Well I had the CT transforminal injection today. I will see what relief I may get from this. I have a follow up with the back doctor in 2 weeks. I'm done with getting this injections though. If I don't get relief from this then I still feel like it has to do with my hip and I will go...

    So the story goes on.....I saw back doctor yesterday. He was very good by looking over everything, asking a lot of questions about the hip replacements and pains before and after, etc. etc. By looking at my MRI he also has said there are some issues, but not enough issues. He said that with...

    Well I got a call back and he still says that it's my lumbar (disc) issue causing this as he has conferred with their back doc. Wants me to see that doc about it all. When I asked the nurse about what he has to say about the bursitis she said the back doc could do injection for me and when I...

    Thanks !! I've been calling my OS the last couple of days and his nurse said yesterday that she would be calling me today with what he wants to proceed with. I told her I just need to know if he wants to see me or refer me or what? She said she understood. Of course my GP called again and...

    My GP reviewed MRI and of course referred back to OS. I faxed the report to my OS on Thursday and haven't heard a word back. I will call tomorrow, but he's in surgery on Mondays and Tuesdays. Need to get this all addressed. I'm tired of this...

    I haven't posted for awhile now because I'm just simply tired of not knowing what is going on. I finally went to my primary and told him my OS says it related to my back and he said he didn't feel like it was. I asked him to please order an MRI for me and he did. I was in so much pain on the...

    Thanks Sandy, haven't been on here for a bit. I guess just life in general. I go again for a repeat EMG and this time a nerve conduction study. Last doc did just the EMG and my OS wanted records and he didn't have them. OMG. So needless to say, my OS is having his docs do this. This is same doc...

    Sure is a great post and great for the Library !! @alexthecat: The last one is the easiest for me to do. I will say, the massage really helped and I'm so glad that I have been doing them once a month. I wish I could financially do more, but can't. The IT Band issues are really getting SO...

    Hi Jo, thanks for the response. Yes it does and no they don't know everything. The guy who did my massage on Saturday did a lot of good work and he was hitting right into the piriformis area with his trigger points and wow, it made a difference. I'm getting another massage in 2 weeks so I'm...

    Thanks everyone once again !! Cardie, I can't do those because my knees are too bad and I can't take my leg that way because the knees don't permit. That's whats really is a pain with this all, If it weren't for my knees I could do so much more. On a good note, the massage did...
