Anyone travel to Mayo Clinic for complex back/hip pain?

Hello everyone,
I am looking to connect with anyone who has traveled to Mayo Clinic with complex, overlapping chronic back and hip pain.
I live in Canada and have already gone through multiple treatments and imaging scans locally, but my case remains an undiagnosed puzzle. I am looking for a deep diagnostic dive to find the root cause and map out a non-surgical, functional rehabilitation plan.
If you have been in a similar situation, I would love to hear about your experience:
Which campus did you choose? (I am strongly leaning toward Rochester, MN due to their diagnostic reputation).
How successful were they at untangling your hip vs. spine pain? Did they catch anything your local doctors missed on your previous scans?

in hopes you might know of other international or hip-spine patients who can share their experiences. Thank you.

I haven’t heard this yet from the Endocrinologist, but from what I’ve read, they’ll probably put me on something else after the year is done so I don’t lose anything I’ve gained. You’re only supposed to be on this drug for a year and then they switch you to something else.
