@roy103 you do need to check your spine. I was really saddened when my hip surgery did not relieve my pain. No one ever deeply looked at my spine. The neurosurgeon kept me with him. So when I said "fine, I'll go home and just take the opioids." he said "....uh, wait...let's schedule with the spine surgeon (orthopedic spine Dr.) and bingo! he found a gazillion things wrong and into surgery I went! (L3 - L5). he was shocked I had lived with all that disc compression for 20 years. My disc fell completely out and my vertabrae grafted together and crushed the nerves. (that was the pain part). He sawed it apart and put hardware in and all but my tailbone was resolved. It ALL needed doing. But by different doctors. And a little at a time.
