I had hip pains for 3 weeks. The np told me I needed pt and to take Ibuprofen. I had asked for her to send me for an xray. I went for my xray and saw my results in the sharp app. The comments the np put on it was I needed pt. I sent the PA which I normally see to ask her to look at my results. It turns out I have hip dysplasia. And that's where my severe pains are coming from. If the np bothered to look in my chart she would of known I have Gi issues and should not be taken Ibuprofen every 4 hours like she said I should do. I am grateful that the PA took the time to help me get a referral to a specialist and an mri.
