inflammatory conditions
"Have been in severe pain for 3 weeks, after receiving physical therapy.   Had spinal surgery in April and neurosurgeon ordered PT to strengthen back muscles.   The PT was strenuous .. especially the way my left leg (formerly  hip replacement surgery) was manipulated.  Severe pain in the hip area.   Doctor prescribed the 6-day  Prednisone pack .. for inflammation .. but the severe pain still exists.   I am running out of option.   Scheduled for an MRI.     Could be a tear in the muscle or torn ligament ."
