Post-TKR Piriformis Syndrome - Cortisone Shot?
Joint Replacements | Last Active: Jul 7, 2024 | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
Hello,
While I am at week 8 with Left TKR, and have encountered a completely inflamed left hip (glutes, periformis, trochanter etc). This has likely arisen from intense left sided therapy.
However, in my past, and extremely active, the hip area has flaired
I strongly suggest scheduling PT. They will get to the heart of the tightness in no time. (Tho a cortisone could give temporary relief).
Be well.

Hi tired,
I'm a little surprised that your hip has acted up in response to the TKR rehab. I didn't experience this and did all the exercises, every day as recommended.
Is at another problem with your hip, like osteoarthritis? I say this because I have osteoarthritis, hence the TKRs. I'm certain my hip joints are bone on bone. I know my shoulder joints are bone on bone. But my hips don't bother me at all, and didn't act up when I was doing TKR rehab. And you're right, the extensive rehab on one leg for a TKR could aggravate a compromised hip.
Just a thought as to what else might be the cause. I applaud you for doing so well with the TKR rehab. Hopefully that is going well. And I hope your hip settles down. I think it will.
Joe
