hi everyone again. Had a RTHR 16 weeks ago with total success. However afterwards within 4 weeks started having groin pain in other side, quite uncomfortable. My consultant suggested cortisone injection for diagnostic purposes more than anything, which I had done yesterday. The results are good pain has gone feel great. I,m guessing that means I need this hip replaced too now, but wondered if anyone else has had these injections and f so how long did it last?
