Have you tried he in between, a chiropractor?
I thought about it but things have gotten worse. I am scheduled for an MRI tomorrow morning with a follow up later in the day with the ortho doc. I have been on vacation this week and pretty much have done nothing but watch TV and monitor some stuff going on at work. Depending on the MRI results, one option they are talking about is a steroid injection at the trigger point of pain. Which is on the right side of my buttocks. Needles don't bother me but if we go with this option I'm feeling a bit nervous. Although the few people I have talked to that have gotten the injection say the relief was amazing. I'm a very active person so at this point if the injection works I'm all for it.
