Does Diprofos Injection Help In Alleviating The Pain In Hip?

After çhikungunya I had a diprofos injection to take away the pains which remained stubbornly after two and a half months. They were all gone when a terrible pain came up in my left hip (I had a total hip replacement in 1998 on the right hip. I was diagnosed with Osteopenia 8 months ago. I am a woman 77 years and 8 months old. At night in bed I suffer somethimes of cramps in the feet and the lower part of the legs. Do you think a second injection might help the terrible pains in the left hip that some times I feel like it is failing like I am going to fall. Thank you, Lu

Hello,

Pain in your left hip can be due to:
1) Post chikungunya severe osteoarthritis
2) Post chikungunya rheumatoid arthritis
3) Bursitis of the hip
4) Tendonitis

Certainly Diprofos injection will help reduce the pain in your hip joint. It is a corticosteroid injection. Intraarticular corticosteroid injections in osteoarthritic joints may play a role in the therapeutic plan and can afford quick pain relief but do not alter the underlying disease. You can once talk to your healthcare provider and take the injection. Also take tab. Becosules forte daily once to compensate for any vitamin B deficiency underlying cramps in the feet and lower part of legs.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
