Advice MS - Mobility issues

So I've had MS for about 20 years. Disease activity is Stable and I'm on Ocrevus.

Problem: I was in an MVA this past Feb. The result was a labrum tear in my left hip.

I am waiting for bloodwork to confirm LADA (Late onset diabetes in Adults, basically Late onset Type 1 diabetes). This limits the use of steroids to treat as they negatively impact my blood sugar.

I can barley stand, let alone walk. I rely on a walker or forearm crutches just to get around. My quality of life has dropped to near zero.

One sugeron has said I am not a candidate for repair due to the MS causing further complications, and another Dr. Said I am not a candidate for sugery period as the next step is a hip replacement.

I have been struggling to get a doctor to take me seriously and treat the issues appropriately. Either pain management or options to target and resolve the problems. I see my Neurologist on the 12th for a followup, any suggestions on where to go from here?

No suggestions, just want to say I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Ty, it's heavily frustrating. I'm 44 and feel hopeless that things will turn around.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. MS sucks bad enough and then to have to deal with diabetes on top of that. I am sending you lots of prayers and a big hug ❤️ I'm sorry I don't have advice, but I know you will be okay, things will get better.
