hip pathologies
Re: hip pathologies
I'm 37. Pain started suddenly in 2005 after heavy physical work. Had a two year period without pain between 2007 and 2009. Pain came back 2010 (too much yoga) and I finally got a diagnosis. Too many cortisone shots! No long term relief.I Don’t take many meds as pain rarely goes above 3 or 4. 2mg of valium once or twice a month. Recently diagnosed with bilateral fai and labral tears. Right side hip scope in July 2013...Second left side scope planned for later in the year...
Re: hip pathologies
Good luck Alex and be sure to let us know what (if anything) they find in your hips.
Athlete until pain started in 2001. Diagnosed with PN in Nov. 2010. Probable cause: 3 difficult labors, 5 pelvic surgeries for endometriosis, and undiagnosed hip injuries. 60% better after 3 rounds of shockwave therapy in Cornwall, Ontario (Dec - Feb/12). 99% better after bilateral hip scopes for FAI and labral tears (April and July/12). Pelvic pain life coach Lorraine Faendrich helped me overcome the mind/body connection to chronic pain: http://www.radiantlifedesign.com
Re: hip pathologies
Hi again guys and gals,
I just wanted to check with you all that there is no risk of damaging the pudendal nerve or making the neuralgia worse when having the arthogram of the hips. I really don’t want to take any risks adn I have read a couple of disturbing posts here recently.
Thanks,
Al

Re: hip pathologies
Alex,
The pudendal nerve (which runs from the sacrum to deep inside the buttocks and ending in the perineum) is nowhere near the location of the injection for the hip joint which is at the top of thigh so in my view there is no possible way that it can damage the nerve.
The reactions that two folks have had to various injections in the hip (one arthrogram, one cortisone shot) are likely muscular in nature and will subside over time. Most of us (Faith, Elmwood, Beverley, Griff, me) who have had hip injections have not experienced any exacerbation of pain.

Re: hip pathologies
Thanks Lernica. I'm one of those people who likes to triple check things, even if I fell that I already know the answer. I once made a mistake in not checking how many cortisone shots I could have (and yes, the doctor should have known better) and ended up with adrenal insuffency for six months (a real drag), so I tend to take care with each decision now.
much love
