Pain Radiating To Upper Thigh On Sitting. On Steroids. Hip Problems?
I am a retired RN, my aunt is 77 years old and has been experiencing increased discomfort in her posterior trochantor region, (when she sits) the pain radiates to her upper thigh. Her doctor gave her a steriod injection and she continues to be uncomfortable. Could her pain, NOT be from "sciatica" but problems from the hip?
HI Thank for asking to HCM 77 years old lady, in this age nothing can be said for sure because the geriatric problems are very uncertain and need close clinical examination as well as observation, without this difficult to say any thing,, steroid of course gives good result but for time being you will have to find out the clinical cause of her problems take care of her.
