I’m a 48M and was biopsy confirmed sfn about 18 months ago

Right around the time I started to feel neuropathy setting in, my legs started to go numb when sitting in a firm chair.

For reference, about 5 years ago I could no longer wear laced shoes or my feet would become painful.

Now, I can’t side sleep on my arm or it goes terribly numb at night at wakes me up. Both sides do it.

My neurologist says “maybe it’s carpel tunnel” which makes zero sense.

Has anyone else had these types of issues along with their sfn?

It also blew up my sleep cycle (not from pain or discomfort, I just can’t relax without meds anymore). My dr is also in denial there is a connection to sleep.

I know my body and know that all of this is connected to whatever resulted in the sfn.

I’m sure this question gets asked all the time but welcome feedback.

My hip feels fine during activity but my FAI and torn labrum hurt mildly during the day and has started bugging me at night when laying on my left side (right side is the symptomatic hip).

My right knee has started bugging me; feel pressure under the knee cap which I assume is being driven from compensating for the bad hip.

I feel like I’m too old for the orthoscopy but too young for a thr (outlive the joint possibly).
