Do Steroids Cause Extreme Hip Pain?
My mother is having 3 weeks treatment for brain edema (first week, daily Solu medrol 80 mg, than switched to Dexamethasone (16 mg) - making her hard to sleep, and than back to Solu Medrol of 80 mg for tha last 7 days. She is experiencing extreme hip pain, and X-ray did not show anything. Could it be from steroids and what to do?

hello,
welcome to HCM,
Thanks a lot for the query
though the steroids are given to relieve pain, the injections of steroids are painful at the site of injection,
may be that is what is causing pain in your mothers case.
do visit a doctors.
you may give some pain killers like aceclofenac also as a precaution
hope she gets well soon
