Greetings, I'm a long time affiliate of the IMMINST (Longecity) community, and I'm proposing this particular topicality for the reasonings of persons with similar (or assimilar) dilemmas likened to mine own.  I often ponder the curious meanderings of public health and medicine (in practice and application to theory) because so often - doctors out of fear of possible repercussion (like malpractice, for instance) fail to diagnose disease, treat illness or attempt surgical operations.  And to that comes this inspirational rivalry, whereas we can collectivize our medical expertise(s), share our experiences and knowledges and help find solutions for the infinite array of problems that undoubtedly afflict you or a loved one.  If you're lost for thoughts on a particular ailment, sickness or disease (even if unknown), and if you're feeling hopeless in your situational subjection, perplexed overwhelmingly by results you may have received or otherwise - are in need of immediate assistance by professionals willing to share with you their ideals in their prolific modes and mannerisms of varying expertise, then post your problems, questions and requests within this such comment-thread.

 

If first you wish to, introduce yourself, and briefly digress on your professional/personal backgrounds.

 

Secondly, list emphatically and truthfully your modes of study, learnings and field(s) of expertise.  (E.G. I'm most affluent within the scientific field of 'psychology,' or - I'm most experienced within the field of 'anesthesiology,' or I'm most knowledgeably familiar within the field of 'anthropological biology.'")  

 

Thirdly, explain thoroughly your problem, your request or expertise (and keep in mind, the only criticism found within real sciences and not pseudoscience is constructive criticism.)  E.G. corrections to minor mistakes, mishaps and proper accreditation/referrals.

I'm looking for advice, wisdom and knowledge on experimental outlets, ideas and innovations within medical science for the dealing of physiological pains.  My mother has been suffering writhing pains all over her body for years now -- but the most bothersome to her is her hip-pains, related to the inflammation of the 'Bursa-packs,' located within the hip joints.  In 2009, my mother received a hip replacement, and has since then, been able to walk (but with much discomfort and unease), though the pain is overwhelming to her, as it shoots up and down the entirety of her leg.  She received biannual cortisone injections for pain relief, though those injections are contemporary, helping minimalistic her writhing and endless pains.  Her options seem limited, as Doctors are at confounds for what there is to do -- as much has been tried to assist with her pains, and they don't believe there to be anything wrong with the titanium implant (the hip-implant), nor any assimilar components; further, having seen many specialists, including a world famed and acclaimed orthopedic surgeon (whom initiated and partook in her original surgery), out of Viroqua-Madison, WI - USA.  Here is a listing of things we've tried for her.;

 

Placebo's are ineffective when it comes to physiological pains and ailments, so that is not an option.

Cortisone injections

She is currently on a 3000 mg dosing (daily) - of both Ibuprofen and acetaminophen 6 tablets, 3 by morning, 3 by night; 600 mg of Tylenol, morning; 2000 mg of calcium, as well protein both by morning intake; 600 mg of antihistamine (diphenhydramine), by morning intake; 300 mg of aspirin by morning; 200 mg of ranitidine by morning;

In addition, these such pain meds' do not work for her, make her gravely sick, or her body simply rejects: Naproxen-orals/injection, Hydrocodone-acetaminophen orals, methadone (hard to get prescribed, but works better than others), Oxycodone orals, makes her gravely sick, OxyContin oral/injection/tubes, hard to come by, and only works for short periods/intervals before making her violently sick., hydromorphone orals, and others being mentioned for what she's currently prescribed/regimen as of now already.;

 

There is an experimental surgery (Arthroscopic surgery) for removal of the Bursa; arthroscopic bursectomy: Arthroscopic bursectomy for recalcitrant trochanteric bursitis after hip arthroplasty…) I found a ways back, founded out of Madison's Diagnostics/Theoretics Medicine Department, and when I looked into it, and had consultations with the appropriated professionals -- ALL of these persons had said they won't perform the experimental surgery because she has had a hip-replacement,; what I gather from this is these persons don't want to risk malpractice by means of possible infection/death due to human error or bodily ill-adaptation.  

 

 Do any of you think these people would perform the surgery if we were to sign legally binding promissory notes or something similar -- declaring we would never sue, and are in fact, desperately seeking help for my mother?

 

Here are links to the experimental surgical maneuver my mother was denied through consultation, perhaps I could ask of you peoples a second opinion regarding this procedure?  (For reference, we tried numerous surgeons, all over the United States, and with the consulting of four plus, all denied such responsibility for performing the surgery on my mother.)
