Thanks Freewill! I just posted about my hynotherapy appointment in the psychotherapy forum. It does help with relaxing me and helps a bit with pain - even if it's temporary at this point.

The orthopod's office finally called back last night and said that I can have an MRI. I have been debating about calling the fibro doc. back to tell him, but after seeing my chiro. and the hypnotherapist tonight, they both agreed they don't think it's fibro. and urged me to have the MRI.

So I will call tomorrow to see if I can have this one last test scheduled. If it comes out "fine" I will officially give up and just assume that, as weird as it would be, my hip pain is due to the fibro which means no treatment.
