I cant be on my feet long cause of it and im out of work a lot cause of it too, not to mention being sore 24/7. my doctor referred me to an ortho doctor, she gave me a cortisone shot and said if it didnt work to call and make an appt with a surgeon, im seeing one on tuesday, Ive had two hip implants so i know from experience once you get rid of the body part the pain goes with it. so is it a good idea? less
