its been a while - but i have not had the shot(s) yet into my hip(s) as frankly i have not been thrilled with having a joint injected, but its getting worse and so i think i'll have to even though the MRI says tears and the XRAY says FAI. One for the hip gimps though, have you ever had a swelling in the groin from the hip issue? One of my sides seems puffy almost like a new hernia, but its higher up the scar line, not at the bottom end, which i think is closer to the hip joint. Just wonder if the hip could actually cause a groin swelling in someones experience.
