I've not even been told, or given the options of doing bloodwork or anything to see if we can bypass the PT. It's in my records that I've done this before for the same hip/leg and it was unsuccessful. I hate insurance gatekeepers. Why would they make me do more PT knowing it was unsuccessful the last time, which was just under a year ago? It just doesn't make sense to me. I know there's an issue there, but they don't seem to want to do anything except put me through the PT and cause more literal pain. It seems like they're basically waiting for it to be so bad that I can't walk anymore before they'll consider alternative options. The ortho gave me a belt, and it helps sometimes, but if I forget to put it on, it's a bad day. I don't want to be prisoner to a belt or pills to get relief. I'm just so exhausted because of the pain. I want to be able to play with my son when he's older instead of having to tell him "I'm sorry buddy, mommy can't get on the floor and play cars with you because it'll make her hip hurt." I feel like I'm just stuck 😕
