Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have low back pain, hip pain, and groin pain. The back pain started several years ago, but the hip and groin pain started about a month ago. I did get an X-ray, and one doctor recommended a MRI. His associate said a hip replacement isn t necessary, and recommend3d a Cortizone shot. I don t have a diagnosis. Any thoughts? Thanks,
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
My thoughts on this subject are clear. Before starting any definitive treatment I would like to have a confirmed diagnosis. I suggest you get a MRI and let us also know the report. Till that time take mild painkillers only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
