A member asked:

Do i require any rest or avoid any activity after a corticosteroid to the iliopsoas for a recalcitrant case of iliopsoas snapping ( 1.5 yrs ) ?

Specializes in Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery

3-5 days: It is recommended that you rest the affected part for 3-5 days after an injection about any tendon. Iliopsoas is used whenever you walk so just avoiding unnecessary activity and pt for about a week. Good luck !
