Catherine,
In regards to the Obturator Nerve I have since seen an orthopedic Surgeon who is going to do one of those MRI scans where they inject contrast into the hip joint. He also said that the pain I am describing that extends into the inner thigh is my Obturator nerve. He has organised an MRI to look at this while at the same time does an MRI to rule out a hip labral tear. I am not sure how well this nerve can be seen on an MRI or whether it can be ruled out via MRI scan?
I will be getting this done next week anyway and will be interesting to see the results.
At the moment i find i still have to take pain meds every day....tramadol and valium seem to work fairly well for me.
