Here's a sad but true story - we saw a young woman who had been suffering from constant hip pain for TWO years. X-rays and MRI of the hip were read as normal, and she was told that all of her pain was coming from her back (even though she had relatively little back pain). For two years doctors kept telling her this, because of the normal x-rays and MRI. And all attempted treatments failed to help her.
We told her, "There's actually a really easy way to figure this out." We injected some Novocain into the hip joint under ultrasound guidance (to ensure accurate placement of the medicine). It was a simple and almost painless procedure that took mere minutes. The result? She had the best PAIN-FREE two days in over two years! Guess what? Her pain WAS coming from the hip!
This is the idea of using diagnostic injections in Glastonbury, CT - selectively numbing up areas suspected of causing pain to try to find the cause. This isn't "rocket science," friends.
