Default RE: Anyone Treated with Cortisone Shots for Thigh Pain from disk problems?

I have disk problems & the pain you talk about on the outside of my thighs.
My doctor told me the pain on the outside of my thighs were "Trigger Points".
I have tried Trigger Point shots. They do not last long enough for me. What works best for me is Lidocaine Patches (RX). The trigger points make satellite trigger points if they are not worked out. Try a tennis ball to work them out with.
When I had the Cortisone shots in my back & neck.....I woke up from them with Zero pain, only the pain returned in 3 days. I have had several hoping they would last at least 2 weeks, they never have.

Not everyone is the same. Hopefully you will have great results with yours. It certainly doesn't hurt to try & just think how wonderful it would be if it worked!

There is a site I use a lot. It is: http://www.myofascialtherapy.org/symptomcheck.html

After you read the first page & click okay for legal stuff. Go to the next page & click on where you are hurting. Scroll down it will then show you where the referred pain is coming from. Each X marks a Trigger Point. After you find the one that describes you click on the X. It will explain a lot about that area.

Best Wishes

Bursitis, that's my non-medical voice of experience opinion.
Trochanteric Bursitis to be exact if it's on the outside of the hip.
Been there done that.. MEAN pain for sure from the entire hip outside and roaring down the theigh.

Bursa are small sacs of something.. that are between the bone and muscle allowing easy sliding of the muscle over the bone. When the bursa get smashed they tend to scream at you.

Mine was caused by my spine bending and pulling the muscles too tight over and therefor smashing and irritating the bursa on my hips Greater Trochanteric bone.

To get the diagnosis..
I Had the hip Xrays that showed no new problems, no hip arthritis.
I Had an MRI upon which they said Trochanteric Bursitis on the report

Got the steroid shot (wonderful relief after 3 days)

But of course my spine continued to bend so the bursitis was unhappily reoccurring.

Did PT, helped only a tiny bit.

Found a Chiropractor to help subjegate the bending of my spine....
GREAT results after many visits (It's not a short term commitment) and the hip bursitis pain monster is currently NICELY controlled.

To NOT have that constant monster pain any more is so wonderful.

I will continue seeing my Chiro since my spine will continuely need subjegated as it continues attempting to bend convexly to the left. The bending spine is due to my osteoarthritis and osteoporisis.

I hope you solve your problem.

Please forgive my bad spelling and lousy typing!

Default Caution

Hi, I'm Crystal, Please be careful with the chiro. I do believe in them to a point, but I just kinda lost my faith. Been going since I was a kid. I just had a thoracic fusion and a rod and 2 screws and he missed the herniated disc that was compressing the spinal cord. They said if I hadn't come in, I would have become completely paralyzed from the bra line down. And my chiro missed it for 7 months.

Trochanteric Bursitis to be exact if it's on the outside of the hip.
Been there done that.. MEAN pain for sure from the entire hip outside and roaring down the theigh. Both my mother and I have it. Tempurpedic mattress pad and tiger balm. cheapest help you can get on top of the shots.

Yeah, the PT doesn't help much. Please be careful with the chiro, the shots are so much safer. Get a massage instead. It'll help your whole body feel better and it's not going to do any harsh movements of your bones. I know the pain is awful, I recommend Ultram. But I'm a walking pharmacy. I was a medical receptionist for 9 years, so I know both sides of the game. I'm just waiting for the new drug for fibro, the SAvella to come out.
I have fibro, scoliosis, the 2 disc fusion, with a bulging disc directly below, I have degenerative disc disease. I have IBS, Migraines, dry eye syndrome, insomnia, post traumatic stress disorder, I can't even remember all of it, most of it related to the fibro or the PTSD. I hope some of this helps.

For dry skin Cetaphil cream is very good.
I have a form of excema.
I use Cetaphil on my face and other body areas except my eyellids.

If you have dry eylid areas Ponds cold cream is safe to use on eylids as a dry skin cream and works wonderfully for me.

My neighbor got really nasty looking exzema on her hands.
Her Skin specialist told her to use Cetaphil cream often all day.
That healed it.
It's sold over-the-counter pretty much anywhere where they sell any skin creams
