I am due to have a second steroid injection in my hip in two weeks time. The first one gave me about 3 months of relief from constant stiffness and limited mobility. Hopefully this will be same second time round, or am I being optimistic and won’t have as long this time?

    Hi there

    I had my 1st one in Oct and got a couple mnths relief. I am due to go again in June but the pain is so bad at rhe moment I feel like it won't help. I work 12hr shifts as a carer and need mobility

    I had one in my hip on the 8th of April and have felt an improvement the consultant told me the pain relief may only last a few months.
