The patient is me. I am an RN with endometriosis and severe hip problems and not a person on this planet, including the best orthopdic surgeon in our area has a clue what could be causing this problem. I have been to over 25 physical therapy appointments and they have to put my hip back in the socket each time. My posting is a theory of mine and I was posting it in several different websites for anyone to answer. I'm in pain and despirate. I didn't know if they would post my question in the L forum unless it was dealing with a patient so that is why I chose to pose the question in that way. I also used RN after my name so I was honest about not being a physician, but I am in the medical field and would like actual medical advice. Sorry if you thought I was being sneaky or something. I just know that doctors will not listen to endometriosis patients who, in their opinion, whine about symptoms and felt that maybe the new approach would evoke a response. In actuality they are more concerned with pregnancy questions in there so I'm not going to post any more. (The L forum states it is for people in the medical profession, not necessarily doctor's only.) I don't mean any harm either...I'm cranky and my hip is out of the socket!! :)
