I see your using a cane. One of the things that I noticed with my mother and her pain is that when she walked she was over using one side to drag the other side along as she was moving around. AND if your off balance and walking crooked this can put too much strain on one side of the body too.

When you had your back scaned from what I remember, what you may have going on in your back is a build up of calcium in your spine that may be irritating your nerves to one side. That is probably why you received an injection in your back to see if that would bring relief to your hip pain. Cortizone takes a few days to feel the effects, if it relieves pain so give it a chance. But pay attention to how you are now walking and if your gate can, infact be the culprit that is causing you added pain.

I had to correct my mothers walking because she began to hunch over and look down which also caused her to irritate her back as well, we are not designed to walk that way. So, I had to retrain her to walk up right looking forward and planning her steps that way. She found that she could eventually walk better, not to mention that she looked YEARS younger.

It is not unusual for people to have one leg slightly longer than the other and what happens is we can end up unknowingly using that side to bear all our weight. Hense we walk crooked and as the years pass one side of us can present pain. I don't know where you live but often a visit to an orthopedic specialist can offer some support that can help to correct the lopsided gaits that we many not be consciously aware of.

Also it may be very helpful to see if you can get some physical therapy that can pinpoint some of the ways you may unknowingly be stressing yourself as I have described above. I don't know why, but often these injections are done and the thought of physical therapy is not presented. So that needs to be addressed by you.

If you get relief by sitting down? That can be due to the fact that often when we sit down we are in a position where our spine is aligned and not stressed by a lopsided gate so we find some relief. When we are not given the right way to move around we are bound to irritate our condition unknowingly.

Just some thoughts you may not have considered.
