Another Hip Update

So I ended up having another MRI on my hip a week ago. This time with contrast. What they saw was a mass in my hip about 4 inches by 2.5 inches by almost an inch.

The notes from the MRI where vaguely worded and gave both myself and my wife a panic, but after talking with the orthopedist it seems less to be worried about (most likely not cancer, and no concern of deteriorating ball joints).

Because of the unknown mass they scheduled a CT scan for my hip, that’ll be next week and are referring me to an oncologist. The orthopedic oncologist is not because of a concern of cancer, but because they are better at removing masses from muscles.

There is still the possibility of it being cancer but it is highly unlikely. So I’ll know more once I have the CT scan and the follow-up with the oncologist.

Fun times ahead.
