Tldr; arthritis, bursitis, failed hip scope. Tried PT, medications and injections. Scheduled for THR next week. Concerned about the continued bursitis pain after surgery.
First post, thankful for finding this site. I've been dealing with low back and left hip pain since December of 2019, no known injuries. Have been treating on & off with chiro and consistently with PT since late 2020. No long term relief.
May 2021 I saw ortho & after getting x-rays & further imaging showed impingements, labrum tears, bursitis near psoas, and multiple bone spurs. We started with an injection into the joint & continued PT. Injection lasted for about two weeks, PT seemed to make things worse. October 2021, I was referred to a surgeon & we opted to scope the hip.
Hip scope was done December 2021. My leg seemed like it was basically dead in PT. Weeks are going by, I'm not progressing in therapy at all and I'm in more pain than I was prior to surgery. Prescribed a long dose of prednisone, no change. Another injection into the joint, no relief. Tried diclofenac, ketolorac, and Lyrica with no relief. MRI arthrogram shows I have more labrum tears, bone spurs, stage 4 arthritis, bursitis adjacent to iliopsoas.
This brings me to the end of May, I seek another opinion. I have all of my records & imaging sent to another orthopedic surgeon & schedule an appointment. Ultimately we decide the best option is to proceed with the THR. I was scheduled for July but they bumped my surgery date to Monday June 20th. My concern is that I've been working with PT, tried different medications and I'm still having bursitis pain & I'll have that after the THR.
