Trochanteric bursitis - hot, painful and can be relieved with a steroid 'Depo Medrone' injection ……. or not.  I expect that the massage did as much 'good' as the acupuncture ……..  ;) ……… irritation of these various spots are due to constant movement of the joints  :-\

Yep, when it was first diagnosed the consultant told me it was quite specific to joggers!  Not something that I have done but then we worked out that it started not long after we got our first dog so I was walking a lot more than I had been.  Don't know if it was the massage or the acupuncture that worked, just glad it's gone for a while  :)

Doesn't matter, so long as you are pain free!

Was at the GP this morning but it was for my stomach. Anyways I did have a lot to ask her and as usual she was lovely even when I got onto my third well maybe fourth thing  ::)

I am being referred for physio. She will ask for a report from the physio and then decide whether I need an X Ray and to be referred on.
Given the fact I needed to talk about other stuff I thought that sounded quite good.

It has calmed down a lot which is good. I'm rubbing ibuprofen cream on night and morning which is helping.

Stairs are a challenge but as I live in a bungalow  ;D...Mind you I have a house with stairs for my summer holiday....hope it's a bit better by then.

Glad that you have a supportive GP! did she recommend any oral medication in case. Hopefully the rubbing in will ease symptoms ……. as for the stairs, you have a DH  ;)

I can't take ibuprofen CLKD, not with my tummy. The best I can take is paracetamol.

She did suggest resting....I laughed.


As for carrying me upstairs.....those days have long gone. I will go up on my bum if needs be. We have a downstairs loo so no need to be going up and down all the time.
