Hi there,

I have yet to be diagnosed formerly, my mri with contrast is scheduled
for this coming Tuesday. I had a baby in November, and the
anethesiologist attempted an epidural three times before the medicine
took. Since then, I've had severe pain in my lower back, hip, butt and
front of thigh. Been back and forth to the doctor since March, and
only last week did he say it could be this. My T1 MRI with out
contrast came back normal, but maybe it was too soon to see it?

I can't do a darn thing with out sweating profusely and no sleep at
night as it is worse then. I cannot imagine living like this for the
rest of my life. But it helps to know there are others out there who
are going through the same thing.

I do have a question, what if the MRI with contrast comes back
as "normal"? Could it be anything else?

Thanks!
