I have arthritis in both hips. And definitely need hip replacement in the right and probably the left as well. In May 2022, I had a steroid injection (image guided) in the left hip. It alleviated the pain for about 3 1/2 months. Late in the fall, I had an injection in my right hip ( the one with severe degeneration) because I'm not ready for surgery. Anyway, it was done by a different radiologist and whether that had something to do with it or not it made my hip much worse. I was initially hoping it was a cortisone flare but no such luck. If I could turn back the clock...
