Is It Safe For An Elderly Patient To Get A Cortisone Shot Near A Hip Replacement To Treat Bursitis?

i HAD A HIP REPLACEMENT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. SOME MONTHS AFTER THE HIP REPLACEMENT i DEVELOPED PAIN ,APPARENTLY FROM BURSITIS . THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION STATED THAT I SHOULD GET A SHOT OF CORTISONE IN THE HIP REPLACEMENT AREA. OTHERS TELL ME THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG i MIGHT NEED TO HAVE THE HIP REPLACED AGAIN. i AM 92 YEARS OLD, WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER?
