My partner (age 88) got a steroid shot (in the hip) for Bronchitis, the next day his hip started hurting like it was in the bone.He went to the ER a couple of days later, x-rayed and said nothing was broken, looked ok, but still is in pain?Can the shot cause this?This guy is in good health for (88), no medications?
HiT his can be due to any small needle prick trespassing the nerve endings. He can go for alternative cold and hot compression, which will help. If not reduced, then please consult the general surgeon and go ahead for the local soft tissue ultrasound, as the x-ray is normal. All the best.
