I am an Amputee below knee I have arthritis in my hips knee thumb joints and neck

Over last 6 months have pain on my stump consultant said

The pain is arthritas coming down from my hip

And because I wear a false leg a hip replacement would not be viable

I wouldnt be able to cope with the mobilty Issues

I am in terrible pain can hardly walk even with a walker

I am waiting to go to have a steroid hip injection ben waiting a very long time

Was wondering If anyone here has has one

Thank you

Hi @Starlightsonia39 and welcome to the Online Community. 

I see that you have been diagnosed with arthritis but unfortunately are not able to have a hip replacement. You are in significant pain and would like to hear from anyone on the forum who has experienced having a steroid injection in the hip. 

Hopefully you will receive some useful feedback from forum members. In the interim, in case you’ve not visited our website, these links may be useful:
