      Hip is fine X-ray has shown it is perfect we saw the back doctor while we were there and he has organised MRI scan for Wednesday as he does not know what is causing the pain but has given me some strong pain killers which hopefully will help.

      Glad about the good x-ray and the strong pain meds! Is the MRI going to be of your lumbar spine? I had one recently, and it is amazing how much you can see in those scan pictures.
