I have been experiencing pain in the groin and hip area for quite a while. I'm not sure if it's from my gait being off, or if it could be the start of osteoarthritis in the hip. I don't feel pain when I'm sitting, it's when I walk, climb steps, etc. When I mentioned the groin pain to the Neuro, he said it could have something to do with my hip, and be unrelated to MS. I guess it's time to see my primary care Doc, who will probably order x-rays to see exactly what is causing the pain.
Has anybody had hip replacement surgery? If yes, is the recovery period for a person with MS more difficult, and is surgery in general more complicated with MS? I have heard surgery is not a good thing for folks with MS.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
