I am new to the chronic pain. I began having hip pain two years ago and found out I have scoliosis. After physical therapy I improved for over a year. It did not go away but stretching occasionally helped and I functioned well including playing golf. Now my pain is in my lower back and mostly in my legs and left trochanter. I am currently back in PT and hoping that helps again, but I am not as hopeful this time. I am a nurse and follow several women who have similar problems and they are going through injections and misery. I am hoping I can find some other information not only for myself but for these ladies.

Hi @bellavista. One treatment that has changed my life is a spinal cord stimulator implant. I have more than 80% relief.
