Constant hip and leg pain
Ten years ago, I suffered from a somewhat similar leg pain as described by OP. I went to several different orthopedic departments in local hospitals and they all immediately jumped onto spinal issues and pushed expensive imaging procedures. Nothing they said sounded quite right. I started digging on my own on the internet and found an obscure condition (Meralgia Parasthetica) that exactly matched my symptom. (I'm not suggesting this is OPs condition) I made a print-out but every orthopedist I showed it to dismissed it out of hand and refused to even consider it. With Sheryl's help, I finally found an orthopedic Dr. who would listen: Dr. Wicharn at Bangkok Nursing Hosp. He listened to what I suggested. He was skeptical because he said that condition was quite rare but if I wanted to be sure, a nerve pathway test could be done on my leg that would confirm or rule it out. The test involved lying prone while electrical stimulation is applied to leg nerves. It's not painful but was uncomfortable. The next day when I returned for the results, Dr. Wicharn graciously apologized and said I had been right all along and confirmed the Merlagia Paesththtica. He prescribed LYRICA, a nerve relaxer which can have nasty side effects like double vision and MYONAL, an NSAID that seemed to be particularly effective. I quickly ceased taking the LYRICA because of the side effects but with the myonal, the pain was gone within a week and never returned. My main point is, Doctors can be locked into automatic responses to certain symptoms and can have a "tunnel vision" approach to further diagnosis. If it doesn't sound right, educate yourself as to exactly what you are feeling and shop till you find a Dr. who will listen and not dismiss your statements arbitrarily. -
