This is interesting. There are multiple "subsystems" involved here and because medicine has become "super-specialized" it has become challenging to find the "right fit" when it comes to medical care.
I also concur with the recommendation regarding fascia, injury, and surgery. Movement is among the best means of treatment. I think you have to continue to be persistent, do your homework, use the medical literature as well as other sources as a guide and formulate a strategy and case in order to get your issues addressed.
What you may have going on may not be uncommon.

Thank you. Before surgery, I lived a very active lifestyle (CrossFit, hiking, biking etc.) and remained diligent throughout the recovery to work what wasn't injured from the week after surgery. That's what makes this so discouraging and why my therapists are so perplexed. I was an extremely compliant patient and the outcome just doesn't line up. I also had a few events early into recovery (fell on stairs with crutches and slipped in the shower ) that were pretty much dismissed. I'm in the same or more pain than I was pre operatively and have communicated regularly with the surgeon and staff from day 1. I have been told it's bursitis and tendonitis even though the bursa was removed during the procedure and I have not returned to repetitive motion due to exacerbation of pain. It's beyond frustrating and my only goal is to get back some consistent movement and quality of life. This has been a traumatic experience to say the least. Thanks for your insight.
