    Thank you @leejaa and @Layla - my husband has been after me to do that. I don't know why I'm so reluctant to call, I just am. I hate to be a whiny "nothing is right" patient. Ugh . . . WHY can't I just get through all of this for once and for all! Stupid hip. Thank you @Layla for the sweet...

    I haven't been on this forum for what has seemed like decades . . . the 'Rona time capsule has made everything seem endless. I really debated on not posting anything at all but I am in desperate need of advice. I had my first fall almost 3 weeks ago, naturally it was on the hard (tile) floor...

    I should probably clarify, I'm not sure that acupuncture needles have medicine on them but descriptions of dry needling are solid needles that are 'dry'. Acupuncture deals with a person's energy (?) whereas DN is done on the trigger points. Not sure that helps to provide further clarification...

    I discussed with the Chiropractor the amount of pain I had all day yesterday. He was very kind about it, took some notes and told me not to get discouraged. He did ask if in any of my MRI/CT Scan/Xray images, they ever looked at the spine? I have no clue. I will work on getting copies of...

    Thank you @Eman85 - I was close to taking 3 this morning (well 2 at first and then was tempted to take a 3rd one about 2 hours later) but figured I should wait. I'm NOT one to continually pop something for discomfort but this is intense today. I'll hold off until this evening to take 2 more...

    Well, it has been 26 hours since my first dry needle, electro-therapy, kinesio-taping, chiropractic adjustment session and I think I might be dying (okay, that's a bit dramatic). I'm hurting though, BIG TIME. I took 2 Aleve and it has barely touched the pain (I am also rotating the ice packs...

    I completely forgot to thank you @CricketHip for telling me about your nephew. How exciting to have such a stellar athlete in the family. I was happy to read that DN is a go-to for him. That actually tells me a LOT so again, I thank you. I also googled "chiropractic adjustments after total...

    That's hilarious @Mojo333 -- I'll take that cup of ice cubes over all of this white stuff. I'm so over it. I managed to pull my Hunter boots out of the closet yesterday before Hubs taped it all off (doing the mudding "drywall" today in our master bedroom, bathroom). Every bedroom is stripped...

    Don't look now @Debru4 but that white stuff if coming down again! Thank goodness we had that yellow thing up in the sky yesterday and it melted quite a bit in our backyard (and the street). My sister and her family are in town from IL - they are up at Copper Mountain and the amount of snow up...

    @Elf1 - does the rain/cold temperatures make it worse? May I ask how long you've been dealing with Bursitis? Have you had any cortisone shots? Gathering the energy to do much of anything is a daily challenge for me but I keep pushing on. Life is here and I must participate. I read...

    This morning I decided to reach out to our old time friend and former Chiropractor who retired 10 years ago and moved out of State. I wanted his opinion on (a) getting another cortisone shot and (b) dry needling. He asked me to call him so I did. We had a very nice conversation about...

    Thank you @Celle - I looked it up yesterday and read a bunch on it. @Debru4 - I just read that we are close to setting a record with this white stuff for February. Ugh, Chris Spears (channel 4) says we can expect 2 more 'hits' before the end of the month. The constant melting/refreezing is...

    Thank you @Elf1 - I DO so feel weak. I told them that very thing in PT this morning. Today the Therapist was much more attentive and really listened to me. She is thinking I should contact Hipster to ask about getting another injection (cortisone) because she says that my left side is still...

    THR Hitch & Get Along<

    Thank you everyone for your responses (maybe I'm not crazy after all about what happened). @Debru4 - what you said about not taking pain relief was spot on. Why on why do I feel like I'm being weak if I take something a couple days in a row? Since this place is my only experience with PT, I...

    Hi everyone - I just had my 5th PT session today. I left PT knowing that they were upset with me. The therapist commented soon after starting to "work" on my hip, that she had seen my review of them (via email) and that I have given them a mere 5 out of 10. She wanted to know why? I...

    Hello everyone - I just got off the phone with Hipster. They learned quite a lot from today's MRI and the Radiologist and OS went over all of my previous CT scans, Xrays. First, there is no sign of infection (what a HUGE relief to me), both implants are in proper place and nothing looks to be...

    All of these kind messages, thank you. I may have cried a few tears last night reading your posts and I mean it from my heart - Thank You. Had Xrays done first before seeing Hipster this morning (they looked really good, everything is where it should be). He did a very thorough exam, LOTS of...

    PS Please excuse the rambling above. I think I have been avoiding discussing the status of my hip for so long (running away from it to be honest) so now that I feel like I have opened Pandora's box of emotions. My apologies for getting so far in the weeds.
