    Paula, I forgot to add that my surgeon also added a numbing agent into the cortisone injection and that numbing lasted for several days. It felt so good that I had to keep aware to guard against over doing my hip/leg, because I was still crippled but not feeling like it.

      Yes there was an anaesthetic mixed in with mine and like you I had to be careful not to overdo it

      Love

      Trust me, there's no way I will be overdoing it, definitely worse than before!  Glad you and Dawn found relief with yours.

    Hi Paula...I received a total of 3 cortizone injections for my arthritic hip...3 months apart.  The first two injections helped me for maybe 8 weeks each time.  The last injection did not help at all.  I have opted for hip replacement which my doctor has informed me will be in about two months.  I had my right hip replaced 20 years ago and it has been wonderful..changed my life at that time. 

    All the best........molly

      Hi Molly, at least the first 2 worked for you. 20 years, your first ones lasting well, you must be looking after it!

      are you in the UK?  Good luck with your next THR

    Hi again Paula.  I live in North Bay Ontario Canada.  I was 65 when I had my first replacement..so am now just about 85 (don't believe it myself).  so I am a little concerned about this time considering my age.  I was hoping  perhaps to  talk to someone in this forum who has had a replacement in their later years as I am doing.
