Long story a little bit shorter. I have had constant pain in my hip for over a year. I tried montgs of physio and painkillers which did not help at all.
In December I had an mra which showed a labral tear however because it is quite small the consultant was unsure if it was responsible for the pain. He decided to give me a steroid injection first and said if this worked it would prove the pain was coming from the hip and he would operate to repair the tear.
I had the injection 2 weeks ago and after initially feeling worse it is now back to being as painful as it was before I had it done .
I am now worried he won't operate and I'm back to square one

Anyone have any experience of steroid injections? Do they always work?
