I  have bursitis in both my hips which are very painful.

Due to have steroid injections starting today and wondered if anyone else has had these injections and can tell me how painful they are, or not.

I'm not the bravest person so some advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you

  • Hi and welcome to the forum.  I'm sorry but I don't know then answer to your question but hopefully by replying to you it will bump you up to the top of the list and someone who does know might respond to you.

    I imagine that how painful they are will vary from person to person - perhaps ask your medical team if they know.

    Hope it all goes smoothly and isn't too painful. x

  • Hi Godwilling. Thank you for replying to me.

    Had the steroid injection in left hip last Thursday. The first injection went into my sciatic nerve,  very painful.  The second injection hit the right spot and although still achy. I think and feel its helping.

    None of us know what we are capable of till we are in need of relief from pain
