Update on unrelenting pain
I posted a while ago about the hurricane and my unrelenting psin in my groin areas snd ability to weight bare on my right leg. Ended up in hospital for a work up yesterday. Here is the shocker. On July 4 I had X-rays if my right hip which revealed a ‘benign changes attributed to mild arthritis and normal aging.’ Yesterday my new X-ray revealed ‘severe arthritic changes in hip leading to destruction of hip. Candidate for total hip replacement. First X-ray July 4. Second X-ray yesterday. That is just over 4 months. The radiologists could not believe it.
Chapter 2. An orthopaedic surgeon friend’s mother was diagnosed with PMR in the spring. Fully active woman, did everything. A couple of weeks ago was having difficulty walking. Had X-rays. Is now waiting for a knee replacement.
I know you guys will think this is one of those crazy stories but believe me…all fact. I am totally stunned…
