Hip pain directly on hip bone

I have had pain and balance problems for some years because of bone spurs destroying the head of my femur and causing it to dislocate from the socket. I have rejected the offere of hip replacement but am going to have Kenalog injections in the hip and work with a physical therapist to regain muscle strength. I feel confident this will make an enormous difference.

Hi Martha,

Sorry for the hip pain you're experiencing. All of my joints, including my hips, are full of arthritic osteophytes.

I have a hip that needs to be replaced. The pain I get is located on the right side of my groin. That seemed like a strange place for hip pain, but the hip joint does lie directly under the groin.

Out of curiosity, why don't you want a replacement? I certainly think joint replacement is the last option, after you've exhausted other avenues. I'm not familiar with Kenalog, I hope it helps you.

Would you ever consider replacement, and if no, what would be the reasons? I'm just curious. I've had both knees successfully replaced and there is no more pain. And I did exhaust all my options.

Thanks Martha, and please be well.

Joe
