Which Injection Can Be Taken By An Elderly Lady For Severe Pain In Hip?
My 89 y.o. mother was told she could get an injection for severe hip pain. She said the name of the injection sounded like polio . I am unable to find anything remotely close to this pronunciation as a treatment. What would it have been? Thank you.

Which Injection Can Be Taken By An Elderly Lady For Severe Pain In Hip?
Hi, It is difficult to comment without knowing the name of the drug. But usually this is either a steroid or an analgesic injection given as a depot. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
