thanks for the tips on sinus infections and allergies.

years ago i was tested for allergies... and nothing turned up. however this region is known for a high rate of allergies. i'll talk to my ENT about it. i had thought that infections were different than allergies, and since i responded to antibiotics, that i have an infection problem... could be (as usual), i'm wrong and actually have an allergy.. that might be a good thing, if it means that my hip is safe from infection. i can work around\with my sinus problem, but i don't want it going to my hip!

i'll let you know what the ENT says\recommends\does in a couple of weeks.
