I just started having groin pain. My ortho thinks I have a hip (new hip on 2/20/23) infection because I had 3 root canals and 2 infections after the second and third root canal. It was the same tooth and I went to a specialist. I am afraid of them draining the fluid out of my hip or even replacing it if he thinks the infection has spread. He ordered a c- reactive protein test- normal and a sed rate and that was double what it should be. I have more blood work on the 31st. Have any of you had a hip infection and what did the docs do?
thanks,
