I went today to have xrays of my hips and knees and to have an injection in my hip to see where all the pain is coming from as my doctor wasn't sure if the arthritic pain was actually coming from my hip or from the knee that was replaced 2 years ago. I think he was hoping it would prove to be coming as a result of needing my hip replaced and not from the knee (although since I had fallen and loosened it he had a feeling it might just be the knee).
The xrays were not what I thought they were supposed to be, but then neither was the freezing in my hip.
I had expected the whole thing to take about 3 hrs or so to complete fully, but it was only about 30 minutes. Although I am not sure they did the weight bearing tests that he had wanted them to do (hopefully the ones they did will suffice as I really wouldn't want to have to do it again). Anyway the pain in my hip went away (due to the freezing) but stayed in my knee, indicating that the arthritic pain I suffer from is coming from there.
I was hoping for the opposite as I do not want any more work done on my knees, but then again I really don't want this constant pain either!
So anyway I guess I wait for his call to see what if anything he wants to do next.
