Hi all, interested in hearing from other Crohn's or coltis sufferers
who have had / have similar additional problem as below.

I have been suffering from a very badly inflamed left hip, the
inguinal ligament appears from MRI's and CT's and surgery, to be the
ligament that is inflamed.
Condition was managed by steroid injections into hip joint every 14 to
18 months since 2000, but since August 2005, injections not longer
last more than 5 days and even after two arthroscopic surgeries to
basically trim away some of the inflamed tissue, problem remains.

A pain management doctor  at www.metrospinal.com.au
is looking at doing an radio nerve degeneration on the nerves, but the
test run with local anesthetic he did two weeks ago did not bring much
pain relief. I am waiting for him to get back from holidays mid July
to let me know what he intends to do next as I am waiting till mid
July to see my Rheumatologist. to see what he may be able to do.
( what is it with specialists these days that one has to wait weeks to
see them, if not months and I'm a private patient!!)

Anyway I would be interested in hearing from anyway who may suffer
from same or similar problem

Thanks Phil
