Looking for your help
 Greetings - I am 49 years old - born with spina bifida occulta and developed scoliosis at age 11 - no significant problems until 3 years ago. I sarted having seriod injections to help with entire left leg pain - then was referred to a neurosurgeon - after 2 spine surgeries, within 6 months, to remove bone (L2,3,5 then 5 again) to release pressure he thought was causing the pain a different doctor noted that my entire left hip was dislocated, probably happening over the three year period. Now he is thinking I need a total spinal fusion then a hip replacement. I need to know the best doctor to do the surgery - the stats on my current neurogurgeons and the referrals to scool buddies are not good.
who should I work with, I have a very complex spine?
thank you for any advise. Laurie
