I have had this pain in my 'hip' area for several years. I get upset with it about once a year and go to the doctor. So tomorrow I am going to have an MRI of the lower back to see if there is anything developing there. When I had my MS dx way back in '97 I did know at that time I had a bulging disc in the lumbar spine. Maybe there actually may be a cause for my continually numb foot!

I then see a foot doctor on Tuesday. It's amazing how soon you can get in to see these doctors when your PCP office calls them!
