It's so frustrating how nobody sees us!! Same story here. Cane, pain, nothing....now I need a total hip replacement.

3 years stays and told "mild degenerative changes" so take Tylenol and treated like I was complaining too much, even though I was limping and had to use a cane! Like I was exaggerating! Then a new Dr ordered an X-Ray with floroscope with contrast (I think that's what it was called) and guess what? I had severe athritis in hip and now they are going to replace my hip! How did I go from mild degenerative to severe in a few months? 3 years I truly suffered before someone really checked it out and now I am facing total hip replacement. The gabapentin helps with the Tylenol 4 together to control the pain. But the jerking and trembling is noticeable and causing some issues. Not sure what Dr will do about it. Seeing him this week.
