I'm really sorry that you are battling on so many different fronts w/ no real respite on any. I'll only echo many of the other members that as long as you are not in an immediate emergency amd can live w/ and manage the pain to tolerable levels then to get whatever tests need to be done in the immediate future and then to decide as Dahlek said on what to do and when. Like Glenntaj and Bob said I think that a skilled surgical team would offer you the best opportunity to have your situation addressed right.

Since I'm still new to the forum I probably missed this from one of your earlier posts but would bone morphogenetic protein be at all helpful to you or did it not work - sorry if I'm retracing old steps. I do hope you will get some lasting relief soon - many good thoughts to you.
