To whom ever may read this, I am new to this sight and not exactly sure how it works. i have read and learned lots of new things from this sight.

I wanted to share my story and maybe just maybe I can get some advice on what to do next.

I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the right hip 3 years ago, I was told back then in order to fix the problem with my hip I would need to have Surgery (core decompression). I had the surgery and have been in pain ever since.

I was also diagnosed with Osteoarthritis and busitis in the same hip. Today the pain is almost unbearable, I am currently taking morphine Sulfate 15 mg twice a day, mobic 500 mg three times a day for muscle spasms and for break through pain vicodin.

My Orthopedic Doctor says there is nothing wrong with my hip and ordered more tests MRI and back X Rays. I am Currently waiting for the results.

In the mean time, My leg swells, my buttocks hurts and swells I have pain radiating down my leg to my foot and even in my toes, I can't sit for a prolong durations, I can't walk to far.

I have been comunicating all of this to my doctor to no avail, but it seems as if he does not care. Any advice on how to get this man to listen to me about my pain?

I am diagnosing myself with Piriformis Syndrome; in reading about it, it seems that I have all the symptoms.

By the way he would not prescribe any pain meds, he told me to contact my primary care physician to get them. THANK GOD FOR MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

THANKS
