@eleanor1. Hi Eleanor, hope that's your name. I am so sorry for what you are going through. It's been 3 years for me. I have been diagnosed with neuropathy, for which Lyrica has been a big help. I have also been told that my CT scan is normal. However, I know my body and I feel like I'm being impaled going up and down stairs. I had the injections last week and in return my blood pressure and blood sugar increased. I wish you well. I was told that the pain I had in my non surgical leg was because I was protecting the hip replacement side and putting more stress on the other side. Hope that makes sense. I found that the pain clinic people just want to inject me...I can't get the answers I need toes in my . People around me are getting a little tired of hearing me whine about the pain in my hip. I hope your surgery goes very well and you get relief.

TY for responding to my post. My surgery was 6 years ago, and did the same thing you are doing now - I was protecting the right leg (which was painful) and putting stress on the left leg to the point that I now have a compressed disc (pinched nerve on the left side in my spine at the L5) which is why the spinal specialist said he can only correct the left side and the surgery will do nothing for the right leg. My Doctor put me on Cymbalta, and It made me so sick - i refused to take it - and since I can't take NSAID's I don't take anything at all for the pain. Don't stop complaining someone will listen hopefully sooner than later - I didn't stop and if I survive this surgery I will be back at the hospital bothering the Ortho Doctor again until he fixes this right leg.... Don't give up....
