I have been battling severe hip pain since May 30th of this year. This pain caused me to make a trip to the ER in the middle of the night which resulted in having fluid removed from my hip. I was placed on medical leave from work for over a month which put us behind on bills due to me not having enough vacation time saved up. 
 

While I do have medical insurance, the bills have begun to come in, the downfall being, the testing to figure out what is causing the pain has only just begun. 
 

I am now going to be undergoing blood work, more X-rays, and more trips to a specialist to try to get answers as to what might be causing the problems, because the pain is now starting to radiate to other areas of my lower body. The doctor is beginning to think I have an autoimmune disease which is causing my body to attack itself. 
 

Any help with paying medical bills is nothing short of a blessing, as I have qualified for a discount on the bills, but it doesn’t even make a dent in the amount we will still owe after the discount.
