I Get Iron Injections For An Injury. Now I Am Having Upper Buttock Pain.
I am a 44 year old woman who s had upper buttock pain for the past 8 yrs. Its now getting worse, extremely sensitive to the touch. Would this possibly be linked to a heavy fall 8 yrs ago, to the fact that I get iron injections on a monthly basis or to some underlying problem? Please give me some insight. My doctor seems to think that perhaps I have nerve ending damage from a heavy fall when someone pulled a chair from me as I was about to sit down. If so, why am I more sensitive now, yrs later. Thanks for your help and ideas.

Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
The pain in the upper hip may be due to the comparatively painful infections of iron you are getting monthly.Any one of those injections might have caused localised fibrosis causing the pain.The nerve ending damage might also be the possible reason. An orthopaedician is the person you should consult.
