Must remember that one.

Good luck. I hope the MRI is useful. But I'm guessing they're going to need a tissue diagnosis.

Fingers are crossed, anyway. Let us know.

biopsy was a option that was discussed but they have a top doc here at UNMC that does a lot of this kind of stuff and the MRI should suffice unless he finds any thing thats more questionable, that would warrant that. looking forward to the to squeezing in the MRI tube

"Are you claustrophobic Mr Beal ? "
hmmm, How small is it , I'm 6'2 and 250. can't be any smaller then a Mobile mono chamber

I'm feeling rather confident about it being benign after talking with some of the DOCs on the RBW and a few of my customers. Seems every one points out the damage in the joint that is causing the pain and says I should be prepared for a hip replacement , sooner then later and remove the threat of possible fracture and relieve the arthritic issues. Only one DR made a statement about osteonecosis and a rather weak reference to my diving practices, He is not a diver.
