I'm trying to get the right meds for my right hip. Apparently, it's not "bad enough" to replace but I can't walk the pain is so debilitating. It's frustrating. I took a two shots of cortisone; the first worked wonderfully but the second one worked only for a short period of time. My orthopaedic doctor told me not to use cortisone in my hip because it makes things worse so I went with an option and it's even worse than before I got the shot. At least I could walk by using my walker; not anymore. It's a good thing I have a mobility scooter otherwise my pup wouldn't get any walks at all.
So, I'm going to my doctor at the end of the month to insist that I at LEAST be referred to my orthopaedic doctor because that'll take time anyway & who knows when the hell I'd be getting a replacement anyway. I'll likely die before that happens!! I've tried CBD & other over the counter medications to no avail. It sucks getting old, that's for sure!!

Without actually having that happen to me, I think I know what it feels like. Bulged some discs a while back. Got sciatica. I honestly think I know what it feels like to have been shot in the ass without actually being shot in the ass. Sciatica confuses the nerve signals. Much much empathy.Mine is arthritis aggravating an old wound.
Yes, I got shot in the ass. It ain't funny.
Back atcha. Least you weren't as dumb as I was.Without actually having that happen to me, I think I know what it feels like. Bulged some discs a while back. Got sciatica.
