I had my first appointment at PISA this week. I had a total hip replacement several years ago. The nerves that were cut during that surgery never fully regenerated, resulting in a permanent numbness of my outer thigh. I also developed a leg length discrepancy a couple of years after the surgery. Now I’m having pain in my other hip, and since the surgery, I’ve developed a leg length discrepancy. I don’t want to undergo another joint replacement surgery, so I made an appointment at PISA to explore what non-invasive treatments might be available to me. Dr. Farshad listened to my concerns, asked questions, checked my range of motion, and presented me with a plan consisting of imaging, injection, and PT. After consulting with Dr Farshad, for the first time in 3 years I’m hopeful I will be able to live a full life without having to undergo another risky major surgery.
