I am in the middle off a pretty painful sciatica episode which includes sharp pain in my hip flexors. I saw an ortho about the suspected bursitis. He looked at my x-rays and immediately concluded it was a lower back issue as I have some degenerated discs there and sent me on my way. My PC suspects I also have hashimotos and I'm trying to get in to see an endocrinologist. I have had the hip and buttock pain before and a spine surgeon just looked at the x-rays an without further exam said you are 62 with normal DD in your lower back. Since the Hashimotos was thrown into the equation thus past summer I have inquired about the significance of it in relation to my pain and the doctor is like whatever. I am getting very frustrated. I have even showed some research to my daughter who is a clinical AT and she dismissed it as denial on my part. So long story full I "feel your pain".
