I have SFN (currently idiopathic) with sensory & autonomic symptoms. I have an upcoming orthopedic appointment for hip pain which I assume is arthritis or bursitis and am wondering what to do if the dr. recommends a cortisone injection. I'm fearful of the injection making my PN worse because injections can cause or exacerbate reflex sympathetic dystrophy and I fear it might be similar. One possibly saving grace is that my sensory symptoms occur 90% in my right foot & leg vs. the left, but the hip pain is on the left side, so the injection would be there. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.
