Beverly, yes the nerve block gave me a flare and I did 2 which was a big mistake as the second flare never went back to "normal" and everything has been worse since.
Dr. Conway suggested I first undergo my bilateral hip surgery, which was already scheduled and I had find last week. The right hip was a redo so I'm hoping it will work this time. He suggested if I want to do more PT, which I did for years and years and never saw any benefit, and more nerve blocks and then surgery. I'm not particularly happy with any if his suggestions and I learned I'm my best advocate and got to trust my guy and there's no way I'm jumping into surgery again as that's how I ended up where I am today. I'm now having Dr. Deena Harris in Soho overlooking my care and she's been very helpful and sympathetic. Right now I'm working on my hip recovery, its only been a few data and what was supposed to be an outpatient surgery turned into an overnight stay so hoping will be smoother going forward, and the other thing is pain management. Dr. Harris is afraid if I'm in to much pelvic/PN pain my hips won't be able to relax and heal properly so I'm continuing to see Dr. Diwan and I'm having a good experience with him (so far, though I find great reviews online). I also am scheduled to go to Dr. Hibner in AZ in the beginning of Nov but I'm thinking if maybe trying to switch it to Dec if he has any openings.
All the best,
