Oh my gosh. You have been through sooo much. I am sorry. Can I ask you to explain the difference between hardware pain that you felt and residual pain? I have two different doctors telling me different things. I have one saying I have residual pain from all the surgeries and I have another telling me the pain k have is hardware over my SI joint. The pain I feel is in the SI area and bone. It feels like a sharp dull pain as if there is a knife sticking out of my bones.
Again I’m so sorry you have been through so much. Im praying that things will get better for you. It’s amazing you have such a positive attitude with everything you have been through and are currently going through. Hugs to you.
