Ge over a year and half had gone by. None of this worked. I had gotten pretty depressed and frustrated by this time. I continued doing whatever i could do by cycling and swimming but was always in pain. I saw a couple of well know physios in dublin and they all told me the same thing that i a tight hip flexors and needed to do glute work. I tried some more exercise programs but was still in awful pain. 2 years passed by this stage. I had gone from being very fit and training with the senior team to doing noting and looking back now extremely depressed and desperate. The pain had also spread into my groin and was painful while sitting and in bed. 26/02/2012 21:01:37 lilly6 county: kildare posts: 4 1118032 so i continued working away on my own doing whatever i could but always in pain. Another 6 months went by. I heard about a doctor in the santry sports clinic. buy cialis I went to see him last summer (2011). He assured me that i had a glute tear, where the glute had partially come off the bone. I was delighted that i had a diagnosis and had a prp injection (to fix muscle tears). I started more physio. But again the pain came back. I went back to see the doctor, had another prp injection but it didn't work. This doctor told me he could do noting more. I had lost all confidence at this stage and became very depressed. The same doctor said that i might have a nerve problem and referred me to back surgeon in santry. Finally this doctor picked up on the fact that i couldn't cross my leg properly. He ordered a hip arthrogram.
