I have had it done on two different mares. Fixed them 100% overnight. If whorl bones are the problem, I never found anything other than injections that worked. I was just talking to a vet on Saturday about them.
How is this diagnosed? I have a friend with a nice show horse that is chronically sore in his rear end. Hock and stifle injections are not working for very long and this horse is only 7 or 8 . I would love to give her some hope.
I have had them done a few times in the past with huge success and think it is needed more often than is diagnosed. It sounds confusing because it sounds like you are injecting a bone but you are actually injecting the trochanteric bursa (fluid sac) that sits just above the point of hip. The bursa gets inflamed and gets really sore and when inflamed, the muscles don't "flow" over that bone as well. The last horse I had injected also needed hocks injected in a bad way. Maybe these two go kind of hand in hand. The horse will be sore in their hips, especially around that joint.
