Is Cortisone Shot Advisable For Hip Pain While Having Tendinitis?
Hi it s almost two years that I am suffering from hip pain my Mir showed that I have tendinitis and gluteus mediums partial tear. The doctor wants that I have intra-articulate cortisone injection but I am concern about side effects. Could you please give me some suggestions. Thank you
Hi, there! You can do Cortisone shot in hip joint by orthopaedic surgeon, but consider physical therapy first. Ultrasound wave therapy with Diclophenac gel, for example. The side effects/complications of articular shot can be infection, blood vessel damage.
I hope this helps
