Saw the head surgeon at Huntington WV VA hospital yesterday. He studied the x-rays and MRIs of my hip and lower back for awhile, turned to me and showed me the damage to my back and said my problem is in my back & not in my hip, sciatic nerve. That's why the injection did nothing in my hip. So he gave me some pretty powerful pain meds (made a pretty cheap drunk, I was very unsteady on my feet all afternoon and evening 600 mg Gabapentin and 100 mg Tramadol. It covered up most of the pain. He is also making an appointment for an injection in my lower back. He says he'll have me able to make hay in May or June. Today I'm walking with my cane just in case. Have a good day guys. Keith
