What Causes Prolonged Right-sided Hip Pain Post Cervical Fusion Surgery?
I am 50 years old. Female. He of 3 neck surgeries. Fusions from c2 thru t 1. All my symptoms have returned and have MRI and Ct scheduled tomorrow. My question now is severe enough pain in my right hip. Has been at least 1 month. Pain runs down the outside of my leg to the outer area of my calf. Thinking arthritis but have not yet had X-ray. Taking hydrocodone prescribed by the neurosurgeon but it does not touch the hip pain

Hi,
The symptoms are more likely to suggest the possibility of spine-related problems.
It is better to consult a neurosurgeon and get an MRI scan done for further assessment.
As of now, you can try analgesics like Gabapentin which is more effective for similar pain conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
