FAQs
1. How long does pain relief from a hip injection last?
Pain relief from a corticosteroid hip injection typically lasts anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the severity of the underlying condition and how the patient responds. Some patients experience longer-lasting relief, while others may need repeat injections as part of an ongoing management plan.
2. How quickly does a hip injection start working?
The local anaesthetic in the injection often provides immediate, short-term relief, but this can wear off within a few hours. The corticosteroid component usually takes 3–5 days to take full effect, so some patients notice a temporary increase in discomfort before the longer-lasting benefit sets in.
3. How many hip injections can I have, and how often?
Most specialists recommend limiting corticosteroid hip injections to around 3–4 per year in the same joint, with adequate spacing between each to avoid potential cartilage or joint damage. The exact frequency depends on individual response and the underlying cause of the pain, so this is always assessed on a case-by-case basis.
4. Are hip injections safe? What are the risks?
Hip injections are generally very safe when performed under imaging guidance by an experienced specialist. Rare risks include temporary bruising, swelling, mild infection, or a short-lived increase in pain at the injection site, most of which resolve within a few days.
5. Can I drive or return to normal activity after a hip injection?
Most patients are advised to arrange transport home after the procedure, as the leg may feel temporarily weak or numb from the local anaesthetic. Many people can resume light daily activities the following day, though your specialist may advise avoiding strenuous exercise for a short period.
