both legs constant pain never stopping even with pain meds

I’ve had leg and ankle pain for 5 yrs. No one could figure out where it was coming from. I changed sports med doctor, and the new doc ordered another MRI from a different location. It made all the difference - My leg pains were coming from lower back, so now on PT, and soon to get an injection. It’s a process, and one that has taken way too all about finding the right doctor.

@ginger123 update… Had spine injections, and waiting for it to settle. Ortho surgeon said hip will need replacing. He doesn’t like hip injections … no PRP or steroids….. Thinking that’s from a surgeon’s standpoint… I’d like to try NSAIDS, PT and an eventual injection before getting a replacement.
Question: How long to wait before getting a replacement?

@ginger123 May I ask what kind of injection is planned -- an epidural (cortisone) or some other medication that is autoinflammatory in nature? Thanks! (I have lower back issues with compressed vertebrae and bulging disks, plus scoliosis that give me weakness in my legs, same on the left leg as the right. Surgeon suggests implanting metal rods in my back, with a year long recovery period. I'm a 78 year old male. I don't like the way that looks, want some alternatives.
