I saw a new Ortho Dr. The xray was normal, did PT for 6 weeks, no improvement. Had MRA, clear and finally a cortisone injection no help and actually worse. The Dr said if the injection, the last thing done, didn't help I could have a scope OR I could see a new Dr to see if it is referred pain from my back. The pain is lateral hip, not bursitis, groin pain, a little pain near ileac crest and lateral mid-back pain (off and on) over kidney area. I've had the back pain off and on for years. All kinds of kidney test all normal. The hip is getting worse. Painful to walk, sit or sleep. Which should I choose, scope or new Dr for back? Thanks.
