can't speak for everyone, but my pain is happening years after surgery. the inflammation angle may be something to pursue with the doc tomorrow though so thanks for that idea.

Had hip doc appt. Monday and xrays. Doc assured me the appliance is fine and wouldn't be causing the pain i'm experiencing. His diagnosis is trochanteric bursitis. Pt for the next few months. I'm not so sure that's it but we shall see. I got a script for diclofenac (voltaren). It worked immediately on the pain and inflammation (cream to thigh 4 times a day) but am going to cut back since I did some research on NSAIDS and they're baaaaad. I might have to take it while in Greece though if this PT doesn't solve the pain problem.
