Rich!
Yep, might as well be snowing here
Thank you so much for your reply, it does help a lot and I will definitely check everything you mentioned.
I have seen the patient twice since my original post, did some soft tissue and neural mobs, ultrasound and stretches. He has noticed a SLIGHT improvement in his condition - no more discomfort, just the anaesthesia. He is still very very tender locally with palpation (superior/posterior to greater trochanter as well as the ITB).
Anyway, thanks again for your input, hopefully I can avoid that MRI...
Cheers
