Name of injection?

    Hi All,

    Just wondering if anyone can help me out.

    After a LONG time with an injury to his "side" (anterior abdominal wall, into Psoas Major & other hip flexors & groin area) my other half was finally given a diagnosis by MRI determining that he has Osteitis Pubis (inflammation in the pubic bone). Whilst know about the injury etc being a Sports Injuries Therapist, I have not heard of the treatment that he is to be given.

    He only had a brief summary from his GP. He is referring him to another guy for some sort of injection. My other half felt the dr didn't really want to give him any sort of explanation so didn't ask too much but what he did say was that it was some sort of injection with light.

    I've been doing some research into it today (my mind is way to curious, i can't settle on not knowing what treatment they will use) so I've come across "Symphyseal cleft injection". Does anyone know what that is, it's showing up quite commonly as a treatment for Osteitis Pubis. or does anyone know the name for the injection he might be having or info on it?

    It's driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Hmm... American Journal of Sports medicine is indicating that it's a corticosteroid injection, which is what i would have presumed he'd have been treated with (18 months on!)
