Pain In Hip And Thigh. Done Heart Catheterization, Tap Block In Back. Buckling Knee. Pain Due To RSD?

I have extreme pain in my right hip and upper thigh. I have RSD, and I have been given a Tap Block in my back to try to quiet the pain. It has not worked. I also had to have a heart catherization several years ago, and after the surgery, a collagen plug was used to re-connect my femeral artery , I have had extreme pain in right groin ever since. I am on pain medication , but it is to the point that I limp terribly. My right knee also buckles, and I am a fall risk. Is my pain solely from RSD or do I have a hip, thigh, knee, or leg condition?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the hip, leg and knees is likely to be due to RSD and is not likely to be related to a primary pathology in the hip. Getting a nerve block analgesia and an MRI scan or a nerve conduction study will help in the proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
