A pain in my… Hip.
So I have had a very long standing hip problem. I’ve had it for ~6-7 years, and it consists of a constant pain in my left hip. Back when I was in college and still on my parents insurance I went to the Dr. to try and get a diagnosis.
At the time they determined that I had snapping hip syndrome, and sent me to an orthopedic surgeon to look into it more in-depth. They did a standard MRI, and were unable to find any specific problem. All they could tell me was ‘lose weight and it should get better’. I didn’t particularly believe them, and sure enough, after losing 50lbs, the problem is as bad as ever.
Since I am on good insurance again, I lost basically all of my ‘overweight’ weight, and it has been worse lately, I decided to look back into it. My current PCP (the very nice Dr. Bellisario) sent me to see a sports medicine doctor. This doctor took a few X-rays and didn’t see any particular problems, so he decided to send me for a more specific test.
The test he ordered is called a MR Arthrogram. I’ll be covering the unpleasantness of that, and the results in some upcoming posts – it looks like this is going to be a common post topic for 6 or more months…
