Thanks for getting back to me. I have been seeing a chiropractoy since the summer when I couldn't stand the hip/pelvis problems that had been going on for a while. I knew of her from a family member that she helped immensely. The chiro is familiar with RSD and helped me quite a bit. She sent me for the xrays realizing i probably had these spurs and when she saw the xrays she sent me to the orthopedist that i had gone to 6 years ago when i broke my right tibial plateau and RSD spread from my left foot to my right foot and leg. The orthopedist on advice of a pain specialist did not do surgery as the need was borderline and the RSD made the surgery the poorer choice, though leaving my knee healed with a slight defect on the surface. This time the orthopedist ordered the steroid injection and said the next step would be hip replacement, but not for me. It seems the orthotic re-alignment is setting off problems, so my husband and I feel like my body reacts oddly and can't handle it. The chiro does think the orthotics are made well, I'm just questioning my body's reaction. Anyway, I appreciate your time and worthwhile suggestions.

Have you tried any bodyworkers, maybe an expert chiropractor, or any other kind of therapy to help with alignment? Or maybe some postural yoga ?[/QUOTE]
