Alison, forgive me for not responding sooner, I haven't been feeling well. Like I've mentioned before I have complain many many times and I'm basically not getting anywhere. I've been walking w/a limp and my left hip hurts so bad! I know with my condition(Sickle Cell Anemia) I can experience that kind of pain, but the pain has become so unbearable! As a matter of fact i do have an avascular necrosis in my right hip and I barely feel any pain with it. I had an x-ray done a few weeks ago and there was no sign of an necrosis. I turned 26 last week and I feel like my body is completely deteriorating and it makes me so sad. I meet with a new doctor on the 4th and I'm kind of excited yet it saddens me to think that i may not have my current doctor to care for me anymore. I've noticed a change in him and I don't know what else to do but to find someone else too treat me. I try really hard to talk too him about thing that are going on with my body and he doesn't give me the best advice. He just give's me this look and it causes arguments between us, I don't want to argue with my doctor because it makes me really uncomfortable! Honestly i don't really go to anyone for help, not even my friends. I've all-ways been that way. I did go to the E.R when my leg was swollen and had to be admitted to make sure I didn't have any clots, on the contrary I haven't been for my hip though and not sure I want to anymore. My pain level is about a 10 everyday and the ibuprofen isn't working anymore. I'm also taking a few other things and they're not working either. So What else should i do?
