Brief Answer: Get x-ray done. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have read your problem. Since you have mentioned history of continued popping and groin pain even after partial hip replacement and pain management injections , it means that your operation was not that successful. You have also mentioned history of heart ICD, CAD, high/low blood pressure, bleeding ulcer, prior surgery L4-5, that is why your doctor is trying to avoid your further operation. One thing which is very necessary is that, you must get your x-ray pelvis with both hips in AP view and x-ray of affected hip joint in AP and Lateral view done send me the report and also upload the x-ray films. I want to see the exact condition of your hip joint. Only then your further management can be advised. You can also discus it with your doctor. If needed, your doctor may do your physical examination and after cardiac fitness he may advise you re-operation. After your physical examination and x-rays, send me report of physical examination and x-rays. Simply taking pain management injections would not help you. It is only by seeing above mentioned reports that your final diagnosis can be made. As you have mentioned history of bleeding ulcer you should always take painkillers by disusing it with your doctor and by yourself. Pain relievers that contain acetaminophen (Tylenol, generics) are the safest for you. I hope you have get your answer. You are welcome to ask further health related query. Thanks . Dr.Singh.
