I went to PT and was quite relieved with the outcome. After explaining the issues with my hips he examined me and said that it is all muscular. This was the best news possible, as it means I did not damage anything and we can help control it. He wants me to take some anti-inflammatory meds for a bit and ice a lot and try to limit weight-bearing activities for the time. Yesterday we did mostly stretching and then stim, the kind w/ the leg raises, and then he put the stim on the irritated area when I was icing. I hurt a lot more initially afterwards but feel slightly better today. I also just took about 600mg of Ibuprofen (left my script meds at home) so will see how that goes.
We also discussed my left hip and agreed that even though the injection wore off there is nothing to do about it for the time being. We cannot even contemplate surgery until my right hip is 100%+ better and would be able to handle supporting me for any length of time by itself.
So, that's where it is for now. Hopefully we will get the inflammation down quickly and I will be back on the path to strengthening in no time.
