I have a left femur 21/2 inches shorter than right with a rod in it, hips hurting quite a bit sometime with numbness shooting down both legs also a MRI that say 1-Large central and right sided disc herniation at L4-5 ,2-central disc protrusion at L3-4, and Mld disc bulge at L5-S1. I also have broken left collar bone with a spur in it with a torn rotator cuff. witch is very painful most of the time with lower back , hip and leg pain where the break has been for over 30 years now. history on femur, was it took 9 years and and 2 different rods before it findly healed. I think the femur pain now is because of my age . almost 60 and now I have laid off of work and not find a job because everything that is wroung with me,i am taking T-4 and drazadone for pain and sleep. I have applied for S.S.disablity, don t know if will will be able to receive it yet. please tell me what do you think? Kerry Randazzo
