Should I have a hip injection for a small tear in the gluteus minimus?

Has your doctor explained what kind of shot, and what, exactly, is it is to do to help you? If it's cortisone, it might do more harm than good. Please look closely and thoroughly into this.
Where is the ganglion and why does it need repair,by the way? Is it part of the gluteus minimus problem?

@uisge The ganglion impar is a bundle of nerves near the tailbone. With the muscle pain I also have rectal pain & tight perenium. This treats the ganglion impar nerves to settle that area down. I don't think it repairs anything just treats the nerves. I think it could be referred pain as well.
As far as the hip injection I'm sure it would be cortisone. What I don't understand is why docs would perscribe that if it would do more harm. I think with all of my injections they don't know if it will help but let's try it. The SI joint injection & the piriformis injection that didn't work were said to be diagnostic as well as theraputic but the theraputic didn't happen.
