Trochanteritis
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi
I had a right sided posterior hip replacement in dec 2015.
Although the hip is ok i have been experiencing severe pain in the buttocks and down the right side of the leg. The pain has even travelled down my leg into my foot.
I have seen my consultant and he says it is something called trochanteritis
whic can come on after hip replacementr .
I have had a a corterson injection into the trochanta and am told this might help , with a further 2 injections to follow at 6 weekly intervals.
Has anyone else experienced this problem.
Kind regards
Shirley

cant wait for some answers GP did not know what it could be may be tendon or Busitis which think is anther name for Trochanteritis.
Happy days Shirley hope you get relief, let's hope I get somewhere Friday.

The injection is not pleasant but its worth trying anything to get some relief
Do you get the pain in your buttock as well

I an having an MRI scan this Friday, because my GP seems to think that the sciatic nerve may be having something to do with the pain in my foot .
Although my consultant seems to think it is definiteley trochanteritis

Hi Lorna , i have had 1 injection , it does not seem to have made much difference with the pain in the bum , and the pain around the trochanter is awful . I am scheduled for another 2 injections one in july and one in august.
I went for an MRI Scan last week so will know in about 10 days the outcome of that.
I am continuing to go for physio but to be quite honest it does not seem to be having any affect.
Has your injection made any difference
Kind regards Shirley

Just been to doctors for results of MRI Scan.
It was showing nothing out of the ordinary .
So now i just have to wait for my next 2 injections and see if they do anything, after that i dont know nor does the doctor. Meanwhile i live with the pain
Perhaps the consultant will be able to tell me m ore about the prognosis.
Feeling very down .

So just because your doc didn't see anything, doesn't mean there isn't a problem there. Can you go for a second opinion?
