I'm going to say this real fast, and then I'm leaving the forum for a while. So really it's just an FYI for everyone since I said something already.
The results of my xrays are back. Nothing is wrong with my hip. Nothing. That's the good news.
My spine is another story. I have brand new spinal problems, and it causes (or can present as) hip pain. (Isnt that odd?.. and here I thought I knew all the ways nerve pain could present itself... wrong! But that does explain the hip pain being in conjunction with my foot going numb)
Anyway, I have vertebrae that are slipping forward. . In an area that "should" be stable, because it has been stabilized (19 years ago). But... maybe it's like a car... fixing an old car once won't stop it from breaking again in 20 years... lol.
So, I'm off here for a while. I have a few things I need to deal with emotionally. . But.. I'm fine. Doing fine. I'll be fine.
Everyone here is wonderful.. all of you.
Thought some of you would like to know..
