Hip Pain
I started having pain and stiffness in my hips about 8 months ago and I went to my GP, he sent me to get an x-ray and it came back showing nothing. He then went on to ask more about my symptoms and he said I probably have Avascular Necrosis, he then sent me to get a MRI and that came back showing nothing. I then was sent to an orthopedic surgeon and he said that I have bursitis, he injected me with cortisone and sent me to PT, since then I have had 5 injections of cortisone and 9 sessions of PT using cortisone cream. The pain has not gone away and it is getting worse, none of the treatments have worked. Is it possible that the MRI was read incorrectly and I actually do have Vascular Necrosis? Any help would be much appreciated since my OS said he doesn’t know what to do at this point.
Thanks,
Mike
Answers:
I would think the MRI would of shown some early changes if xrays didn't for the diagnosis of avascular necrosis. What did the orthopedic surgeon say about poss avascular necrosis? Maybe it is chronic bursitis in which he could draw some fluid out. One thing for certian you need a diagnosis from the dr. Good Luck.
