[|Human|] Four weeks ago I recieved a cortizone injection for what was diagnosed as bursitis in my right hip. I had relief for about a week. I now am having constant pain in same hip and groin that radiates to the knee and down to the ankle. It is disrupting my sleep and limits mobility.
[|AI|]  None of the possibilities is easily fixed. The simplest is a plain pull of a tendon or muscle without any serious injury. Still, groin pulls cannot be put in a sling, cannot be fully rested and therefore take weeks or a few months to get significantly better. Then, worse, arthritis of the hip (found with X-rays while standing on one foot) would be from the cartilage lining being permanently GONE and fixable really only by joint replacement. Your ballet days are over! And, one of the more likely is a problem in the lower back that is hitting the sciatic nerve that runs from the back out through the buttocks, around the hip, down the back of the knee to the foot. Any pressure on the nerve by a disk or arthritis in the back etc. will cause the entire nerve to hurt. Sorry
