Cecelia,
You mention getting worse dysautonomia after hip surgery. Hip surgery can change the function of the sacrum and pelvis. But also, when people are intubated for surgery, the alignment of the neck can be affected. My dysautonomia is definitely related to neck problems. ( but the pelvis affects the neck) Understandable in that important sympathetic nerves wrap the vertebral artery which travels through holes in the sides of the neck vertebrae to the brainstem area. So, rotation of the neck vertebrae can stress blood supply and sympathetic nerves.
Traditional osteopaths are the best docs I know of to deal with these neck/pelvis issues.
