Wow! I'm so sorry.
I've been living in pain for 8 months, physical therapy the whole time and its not t working. I'm 33 with 3 kids. I've seen a few ortho docs too. Last week I decided... I will not accept this...I should not have to live in pain....I will keep searching for a doctor who will listen to me and look closely for a solution. Keep seeking help!!! You shouldn't have to live in pain!
By the way...I last saw an ortho doc 7 months ago....he said I don't know what's wrong with you there is nothing I can do for you. I believed him and sat for 6 months in pain and hopelessness. Going today for my first ortho appt with a new doctor! Don't just sit like I did!
