@tami1966 That sounds like it is frustrating and worrisome for you! Questions you might want to consider:
How long you have experienced increasing loss of muscle strength [how soon after starting the injections]?
What has your doctor had to say about this issue?
Have you tried physical therapy, including acupuncture, therapy pool sessions, walking?
I'll be curious to hear from you!

The first hip injections that I got were in February 2021. I get them every 3 months. I noticed the muscle issue in March so when I went back for the next injections I asked if that could be what is causing it. It has progressively gotten worse over this year. The Dr. said it is absolutely NOT the cause. When I looked up the side effects of Buprivacaine it does not coincide with the Dr's answer. I have had acupuncture and massages. I have to be careful with massages as my capillaries are breaking to the touch but that is a whole other issue. I have to be really careful when walking (although I work FT) because the weakness causes me to fall. I've had EMG's etc done this year and they could not figure it out.
