Suggest Treatment For Back Pain And Hip Discomfort
I have had back and hip pain/discomfort since my 8/8/14 LAVH and rectocele repair . Sitting in office chair and car causes the most back discomfort primarily on left side. Hips ache at night and right hip now pops when I walk. Gynecologist said it could be nerve inflamation and muscle spasms. Prescribed meloxicam and cyclobenzaprine for two months. Referred me to orthopaedic for hips. He said he thought it was a back problem. Saw neuro today. She said it didn t sound like back pain but scheduled MRI. Gyno said as last resort if back pain doesn t stop she could go back in and snip ligament she attached to. I m very frustrated and haven t had one day without being uncomfortable since surgery. Is snipping the ligament a good option?
i think you should wait for a while before coming to any conclusion so urgent. There is an option of trying out a physical therapy. Why dont you schedule an appoint with a physical therapist as the therapy induced is non-invasive and exercise induced with no side effects. If you ask me personally than i feel you just have a muscle spasm pain due to its weakness. You need to focus on strengthening your muscles of the Torso and the hip region. Apparantly, when exercises are done under guidance they give excellent results. I am sure meeting up a physical therapist will definitely help you and your frustation level will be at zero.
i wish you a speedy recovery.
