greyhoundgal, please can i ask, did you have a trochanteric bursitis ? if so am i doing the right thing at the min i am doing ice packs for 15 mins every hour and keeping off my feet as much as possible, i can't use anti inflammatory's, so just ice, the osteopath said to do this for a week and then i go back and then consider injection.
Well, i am going for a weeks holiday 31st aug and last year our holiday was ruined because of this hip problem, i just could not walk, do you think i should go and see my gp and see if i can get the injection asap or carry on with rest and ice?
Sorry for all the questions but it is a relief to find someone who has actually gone through this and got it sorted.
