that's the next step if I am not getting better

there is no pain shooting down my leg

the pain is a palm size area on my right hip

I had lumbar MRI 4 years ago as part of the investigation of a nerve pain on my ankle

nothing unusual at that time

If Right hip looks like it’s radiating down .. likely lower L5 -S1 area

 

common

if it doesn't go away (and you are open to surgery), then seriously consider the mri.

It may be too serious to let it naturally heal/go-away

I tried many cocktail of painkillersL anarex, codeine, tramadol, arcoxia, lyrica, and even had acupucture at sgh pain center. But it was too far gone and needed surgery.

Also dunno isit years of taking all the above that cause the kidney to be damaged.

There's also fentanyl...too many side effects tho...

My wife is taking surgery option as last 50/50 resort if the risk of paralysis is high...🤞😅

One day I had an injection and it was painless.

I asked the nurse and she said.

This will be painful.
