I've just had my first steroid injection in my hip due to chronic outer hip pain. Surgeon believes I had bursitis but I also have moderate osteoarthritis in the same hip.

Following the injection, I'm now more aware of pain in the joint, around the top of my hip and across into the back of my glutes. I'm guessing the original pain was masking the hip issue or am I overthinking it?

    Hello @JosieP yes it is possible but I would go back to your GP/Consultant and ask if this is OK. Best to get it checked out.
