hip problems evaluated
Tue. I will have a work up on my hips. I went to my back Dr. because of pain and have worked with PT's twice a week for about 8 weeks. I have had improvement on my back pain and we have found the problem to be in my hips. I have zero interior rotation and that is not improving. My exterior is half of normal and has improved. I can walk and stand just fine. More problems standing after I set down and trouble reaching my toes. I excerise daily.
Chelee, I am so sorry that you are having to deal with the hip problem righ in the middle of treatment. I read your post and pray for you. I am thankful to you for sharing your story.
So I guest this is a good time to look at hip replacements if I am close to the point of needing it. I will have exrays on Tue. The PT's don't say I need replacements just that we need to see how much deteration is there. This Dr. will do xrays then I think he will send me to another Dr. I will also talk to my onc.
My PET from OCT - Degenerative change of the bony structures, especially in the spine and both hips with bony remodeling sclerosis and spur formations.
