Is Cortisone Injection Safe To Take For Labral Tear And Hip Osteoarthritis?
Hi,
so glad I found this site. I fell in work over six months ago and been having pain in my groin since. I've been to PT for the last 3 months and finally got an arthrogram (dye injected into hip followed by MRI) It showed I had a labral tear and osteoarthrois in the hip. I just went to a new ortho. surgeon and he wants me to get a cortisone shot in hip. Beside it being really painful, I have concerns getting it. I had really bad reactions to presedonine (sorry about the spelling) they had to take me off of them immediately (bad heart palpations and hives) in additon i suffer from really high blood pressure. Does anyone know if the cortisone shot would be safe for me. I'm 44 yrs. I would prefer just getting the scope on the hip, my dr. specializes in this, but he acted like the shot was my only choice for now, and If i don't do it, I'm afraid because I am on workers comp. Sorry this is so long, would like any advice. Thank you

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.
Yes you can take steroid shot which may give prolong hip pain relief.
