Suggest Treatment For Severe Hip Pain

I have a friend that lives in Boise Idaho and is 88 years old. she has a great deal of pain in her hip and back on one side. She doesn t have a primary care physician but needs to be diagnosed with an MRI to get help? Any recommendations for Doctor in Boise? Can she go directly to a pain management doctor and request MRI.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam,
I thank you for having faith in Health Care magic and for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, at her age the cause of pain could be either arthritis or she may have injured her neck, or AVN. to ascertain the diagnosis the first thing required is an X ray scanning of the hip joint, majority of diagnosis can be made by that , and treatment depends on the cause.
I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.
Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
Thanks
