Ongoing chronic groin pain

I just sent an email to my primary doctor at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto requesting that I see a doctor about my ongoing right groin pain. I've had it for years. Kaiser tried giving me five cortisone injections in the right groin, and none of them helped. There's got to be an answer to why I have pain in my right groin every time I get up from a chair or try getting out of my car. I am 89, and I don't want to live the rest of my life with this burden. It's bad enough that I have peripheral neuropathy in both feet. I need a break. Joe Galiardi, Cupertino, CA

I finally got someone to order an MRI of my hip and finally found the answer for me.

I have two labrum tears.
Labrum tear surgery is tough but done on younger athletes who they don't want to do a total hip on as they'd have to replace it too many times.
Me? 69.5, heading to quickly to 70! I'm hoping for the total hip as that will take care of the misshapen ball/arthritis of my hip that has been 5 months after my fall and my hip has been bone on bone and just finally getting a dr to take my pain seriously. Best of luck. But torn labrum can be worth investigating.
