I started having pain in my upper leg around thanksgiving and the foot went numb. I had surgery to remove bone spurs that were pinching my nerve in June. The surgery was a success all numbness in the foot and leg is gone. I'm so glad of that. Now however the pain is intense in the upper leg again. I was told it was bursitis back in January and had 3 cortisone shots and physical therapy that didn't work. Hence I went to a neurosurgeon. I have not been back to a Dr since my post-op in June. Could this still be bursitis? How long can that stick around and what do I do about it? I've taken anti-inflammatory drugs they don't seem to help. Has anybody any suggestions as to which Dr to tell about it? Regular physician,Orthopedist or the neurosurgeon? Or should I consult a arthritis Dr since I know for sure that's what caused the bone spurs I had removed.

My clinic has an online program where you can send a message to your doctor and he/she will respond with a message. If you have that, could you send a message to the doctor who did your surgery? Or how about calling a nurse at that practice and ask who you should see? If you had surgery in June, you're probably still recovering. It can take a long time for things to settle back to normal. (I had a hysterectomy last year and the doctor said it could take up to a year to be completely recovered.)
It sounds very painful and I hope you find relief soon.
