Hi,
Just thought you might want to check out the arp wave at: http://arpwave.org.
It would probably take away your pain on the first treatment, since it has done so for many others with orthopedic problems.
It's in use by the NFL and lots of other prof athletes and has helped many avoid surgery for joint pain, knee surgery, etc.
It actually strengthens your muscles to hold your bones in the proper position all the time.
