    Dr Buchanan clearly explained why my symptoms were giving me leg pain and how the pain could be referred from my hip to my leg. He explained how the treatment (injections) I had a week ago had reduced the pain by about 85% and that it could last for many month before being treated again. He also suggested options rather than steroids (PRT treatment). Overall I'm very satisfied by the level of medical care that I received.
