I can just relate what happened with my mom recently. She had extreme pain in her right outer thigh. She was barely able to walk. I took her to her primary and he examined her. By examining her leg and where the pain was, he knew it was actually her hip that was causing the thigh pain. He ordered an x-ray of her hip. It revealed bone on bone in that hip and it was indeed the cause of the thigh pain. He referred her to an orthopedic office where a doctor used a real time scanned view to guide him to the right location for the cortisone shot. He gave it to her in her groin. I had no idea that was possible. She didn’t get any anesthesia and didn’t report it being painful. She jumped once when she got a shot in her knee. The shot helped a lot to lessen the pain. It hasn’t lasted very long though.

I got a shot in each shoulder for frozen shoulder by a rheumatologist once and felt no pain. It helped a lot.

I hope your procedure goes well, I’dvask that they explain everything before they start.
