Saw Ortho today and, as I suspected, my right hip has no cartilage with bone spurs. He recommended a epidural to see how it helps the pain. I need to make it by summer before surgery (teacher). Although my appointment for the epidural isn’t for three weeks. Does epidurals in the hip really help the pain?
 
Hope it gets you some relief!
One thing to ask your doc- how long you have to wait between injections and surgery. Just to be sure that you don’t have to delay surgery if you feel that is something you want to do before school is back in session in the fall.
