Hi,
The last process prior to my OS appointment was a fluroscope guided intra-articular hip injection. Marcaine/methylprednisolone was injected yesterday. The first few hours cut the pain down to almost nothing, then it came back. I'm fairly sore right now (overdid it when the pain was low plus the joint is upset about the injection) but hoping for some relief from the steroid in the next few days.
For those who have had this injection I would like to know your experiences. I was told it would take a few days to a few weeks for the steroid to start helping if it was going to. The fact that I felt pretty good in the joint for a few hours from the marcaine was promising.
Thanks,
Bruce
