I have bursitis in both hips. I have also had hip replacement in my right hip. The pain for my hip was in my groin the pain of bursitis is actually what we think of as our hip which is on the side. I have cortisone injections in my bursa every four or five months. I walk for exercise and the injections really help. Yes, the injection is uncomfortable for a second but I aim for the result. I go to a big orthopedic practice and the Physicians Asst. is the one that gives me the injections. She can just press on the side and when she hits the spot I can feel exactly where the pain is. Good Luck
