Managing Hip Bursitis Pain
I have what has been diagnosed as bursitis in my right hip for almost a year now-steroids will relieve for a brief period of time . I can’t sleep of a night because that is when the pain is the worst. The only non pharmaceutical relief I have gotten is sound wave therapy has anyone had this and tried something that worked. This is now even bothering me when I walk of a day.

donnajones, Have you tried Voltaren Gel (otc) for your hip bursitis & a heat pack? Also, low dose Mobic is a prescription NSAID that works wonders for a lot of folks. It is not as upsetting to the gut & blood pressure like most NSAIDS are. Also, Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that may help. Of course, you would have to ask your doctor about all of these.
Praying for you. Hip issues are painful.
Thanks so much for the reply, I can’t take NSAIDS because of my kidneys. I do use a heating pad at night. This pain is not taken care of by the pain medication prescribed by my doctor. I’ll try the voltarin gel haven’t done that.
Hello @donnajones, I'd also like to invite @lkp2024, @edithmiller, @ranch and @hollbell to share their experiences with hip pain and bursitis management.
Have you tried the Lidocaine 4% patches and roll-on. I've had bilateral hip replacements & at 76 overall arthritis. The lidocaine 4% really helps. WalMart, Target, CVS & I'm sure Walgreens has them. The WalMart brand, Equate, works the same as the brand names. If the patch can't be used in an area for some reason, the roll-on is great.
Of course, always ask your doctor before starting or making changes in any course of treatment.
Good luck & best of health.
I had hip pain back pain and shoulder pain. I finally found a pain specialist who used a different instrument and blocked never in those area and I am now pain free. Done in day surgery
