Thanks Diane
for the info and links,
the bowel one I will check out as I have a basically in active Crohns
Diease ( inflmatory bowel dieease)
There is down in that area a fair bit of scar tissue from small bowel
resection surgery 11 years ago.
Whether it is link, who knows, but I am fairly sure that it doesn't do
my lumbar spine again good, as there is some degernation of l4/l4, s1
facet joints and a bloating / inflamming bowel will not help that
area.
Al I can do about that is get facet joints nerves blocked
as no one knows how to get rid of adhesions and after 3 bowel
surgeries, my gastro and co are reluctant to touch bowel again unless
really required.

Now back to hip.

CT scan clearly showed a small bit of bone right wher hip meets
pelvic, even I can make it out on scans.
It is right where the cartlidge is, and matches where I am very sore
and tender, surgeon feels I was probably born with it, which is
possible as I've always had a problem with this left hip as back as I
can remembe, but nothing like last 5 years. for example if I did some
breast stroke swimming, I may get sharp pain on the outside of hip.
He is very reluctant to cut bone out, well that is the impression he
gave me.
He has ordered another guided Long lasting Anasethic / Steriod
injection for Monday, if it settles down, great, if it doesn't then
I'm going to get a second opinion and maybe a nerologist in case a
nerve is compressed as my GP suspects.
As the other blocks over last six years have worked except for the two
last August, (well worked for say 12 months at a time)
and the bone peice has been there all the time.
heres hoping block works this time.
keep well
Phil
