My heart breaks for you Debbie! I'm so sorry!

@debbiejody
Did you have MRIs of your hips/pelvis and knee? What do the reports show?

Did they offer cortisone shots in your hip and knee to relieve pain? Are you working with a pain management specialist? Did the orthopedic doctor suggest surgery?

I have bilateral gluteal tears/tendinopathy and bilateral hamstring tears and it is very painful. They suggested physical therapy and said they could do cortisone shots to see if that would help. It is hard for me to stand up and walk up stairs and it has been over a year I had my MRIs of my hips and nothing has improved/healed on its own. I worry I will need surgery to reattach muscle to bone and repair tears (read they call the procedure “debridement” to create new attachments). 😳
