Hi Jane. I feel your pain – literally! lol
I still don’t have groin pains, but the doctor said I will probably get it, instead I have lower back pains to go along with the hip pain.
The cortisone shot was a major let down as it actually made matters worst. I was asked if I wanted to try another one, humm NO!!
I realize that I will have to be a big participant in my therapy as it seems that at the rate this is going will take many months to recover from this minor injury.
So for now I am icing it every chance I get and doing some exercises 3 times a day. I am doing the 2 exercises described as homework and plus a few more to strengthen my lower back and core.
So for now I am feeling the same but feeling hopeful.
I hope that you have a good doctor and that you recover quickly.
Keep positive and upbeat! Many blessings to you!

I’ve just started having hip pain issues, and you’re the first person I’ve found who’s been going through it and writing about their experiences. You got worse after your cortisone shot, too? I had one in each hip for pain and I’ve gotten much worse in the last week — now I’m getting groin pain, which I hadn’t been getting before, and it’s pretty miserable. It just really sucks when you expect that something is going to help you feel better but it makes you feel worse instead. I’m glad I found your blog, though! I hope you start feeling better, and that we can help each other out through our experiences!

Finding oneself single is challenging. I can relate. A year ago, when I was 61 1/2 I left my home in a blaze of anxiety and fear, escaping from abuse. In the past year, I have begun to gain strength. I understand. I do not get into my personal feelings on my blog, although I have wanted to so many times. I admire your courage. In writing, I believe, is healing.

Wow… I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better… but don’t feel bad about feeling bad… it’s only natural… and you seem to have the right attitude towards it all – you’ll soon be better and you’ll soon be back up ‘n running again! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help…

I will, see you made me smile already! To be diligent is certainly the key and something that will be hard for me even when my life depends upon it. I am going to do PT twice a week and I am looking at it as a replacement of my Pilates sessions, and instead of Zumba I will walk. Baby steps until I can run! Thank you for the comment and good wishes!

Thank you for sharing what you are going through with me. I thank you for your prayers and good wishes. I admire you continue to live your life and not letting this stop you.
I keep second guessing myself, should I have battled through the pain and continue my activities? It is not a terrible pain and I certainly could do it, but will I be aggravating something and making matters worst?
At any rate I decided that another month off will not kill me. Today I decided to look at it as a mental training to come back stronger. Instead of focusing on what I cannot do, I am focusing on what I can!
Thank you again for the inspiration and best of luck with your treatment. Many blessings to you!
