THR - Problems 2+ years post surgery
I am not sure if i am on the right thread for my problem but I will relate and hope there will be some advise for me .
Had a THR in 2022 and had slight dysplasia, labrum tear and arthritis ! The operation immediately took the pain away for a clear four months and then i started having pain in groin, back, side where scar was ! I spent nearly a year going back and forth for mri’s , ultrasounds etc then went for a second opinion and ct scan and diagnosed with tented psoas over acetabulum! I have had two steroid injections into groin - the first worked better than first and gave me enough pain relief for me to be able to return to my Pilates and cycling , but then it all got worse again ! and I had to stop . I have tried everything, red light therapy, shock wave therapy , dry needling, massage etc everything seems to set the pain of and aggravate situation ! I am seeing consultant again this week to discuss arthroscopic release ! I am worried :
It has had profound effect on my QL and Lumber and I have a scoliosis, would the partial or total release end up giving me little stability for my back ! Given that the tightness is pulling badly on my lumber, pelvis. Also I understand the psoas muscle has such a profound effect on vagus nerve and so many other elements of the physical body .
I have, despite all the daily pain been able to strengthen my hip flexors, core etc . but the daily pain for over two years now has been such a strain on my whole system .
Anybody’s experience and feedback would be greatly appreciated .
