Went to the ER for severe hip pain at the suggestion of Hill Air Force Base nurse line. It was awful. I left in more pain and upset than I was before I went. At the hospital they did an X-ray and the doctor (Dr Hawkins) said it was degenerative and he asked if I had told my family physician about it. It s only been severe for 3 days, that's why I went to emergency, so I tell him no and I was trying to tell him it has only been a few days but he interrupted me and said "ok" and then walked out. After my X-ray he came back and suggested I find a doctor that could do injections , that 'they' are cracking down on giving pain meds, and suggested IBP and Acetaminophen. He said he could give me a shot of Toradol, which I was happy to get, he shook my hand and walked out. That was it. I wasn't there for pain meds, I was hoping for cortisone shot in my hip. I was stunned. I wasn't asked if the Toradol was helping, which it didn't touch the pain. No info on said doctors that do injections. No "do I have any questions". It was terrible. If you go to the ER and get this doctor, ask for a different one. Hopefully a different doctor will listen to what you have to say and treat your pain accordingly.
