Hello all,
I am hoping one of you might be able to help me.
On friday I am having a steroid jab in my hip for bursitis.
All I want to know, from someone who knows is - can I keep my knickers on :?: :oops: :shock:
Thanks
Toni x :oops:

    Will be getting in touch properly when kids back at school - re the Fulham Palace rd connection!

    hi toni
    am going for one on tuesday, however my main thought is, is it going to hurt, so please post and tell me how you get on and if a thong was the right thing to wear.
    good luck

    Hi All
    Iam from the big knicker brigade ,i have had about 4 of these injections could be more i have lost count ,now if you can imagine where your knicker leg ends that is where they give the injection so no need to panic you do not have to go knickerless .It dosent hurt either you just feel a lot of pressure ,then you must rest for 48 hours

    Hi Toni

    I have had steroid injections in my hip several times for bursitis, and I never had to take my knickers off, so let's hope it is the same for you, especially with students present. It was a bit painful because the doctor had to try to find the exact spot to put in the injection, that is the spot where the pain is the worst. Sometimes it has worked, but last time it didn't. Not sure why. Perhaps he missed the spot!

    All the best Toni, on Friday, with or without knickers - only joking :lol: you will be able to wear them big, little, tiny, whatever. Soon be over and think of the "enforced" rest. :lol:

    Love
