Emma Smith, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Emma Smith, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two young children, had always been active, enjoying weekend hikes with her family. Over the past year, she developed a persistent, deep ache in her right groin and outer hip, which she initially dismissed as 'mom hip' from lifting her kids. The pain became sharp and stabbing when she stood up from her classroom chair or tried to demonstrate simple exercises to her students. Her primary care doctor diagnosed tendonitis, but physical therapy and NSAIDs provided only fleeting relief. Frustrated and worried she wouldn't be able to keep up with her energetic kids, she was referred to a rheumatologist, Dr. Chen. After a detailed exam and ultrasound confirming enthesopathy at the gluteal tendon insertion on the greater trochanter, Dr. Chen recommended a corticosteroid injection under ultrasound guidance to target the inflamed site precisely. Emma was nervous but hopeful. The procedure was quick, with a strong pressure sensation but minimal sharp pain. Within a week, the deep ache subsided significantly. Combined with a tailored physiotherapy program focusing on hip stabilizers, Emma regained pain-free movement. She felt a wave of relief and optimism, moving from feeling like her body was failing her to being back in control, able to play on the floor with her children without flinching.
