What Causes Sore In The Hip Area After Taking An Epidural Steroid Injection?

Actually, the injection alone, without physiotherapy and medication, wouldn't help that much, I hope she feels better soon.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Actually, the injection alone, without physiotherapy and medication may not work in some cases but the steroid injections have to be given by a trained specialist.
Epidural spinal injections depend on the condition of herniation, body weight, daily normal activities like sitting and sleeping postures. For my patients I recommend epidural spinal shots for 6 consecutive month ( once per month ), surgical discectomy or spinal fixation with rods and plates are prescribed by your neurosurgeon.
Hot massages with topical gels are very helpful if done properly on regular basis but please be patience as it requires even longer time as you need to modify her lifestyle to accommodate with her pain and decrease the liability of surgery.
Regards
