This bursitis in my hip is worse at night laying down. At first a pillow worked but not anymore. I have one position I can now sleep in on my back. It surely does disrupt my sleep. I’m going to try a steroid shot. If that doesn’t work I did read an article you can have your bursa removed. Who knows like you say maybe that’s not even it, they haven’t xrayed or scanned my hip yet. Thanks for your reach out much appreciated.

You are quite welcome. I have experienced your kind of pain. We are more sensitive at night when it’s dark and we are sleeping. It finally all disappeared for me when I had both hips replaced, and then L3, L4, L5, fused and stabilized. It was a long journey, but it gave me lots of knowledge. It also made me learn how to advocate for myself. It also helped me know what to ask for. My doctors like it when I come armed with information and can be more articulate about my pains. The steroid injection is a cortisone, but there’s also strong anti-inflammatories
NSAID which can be used. You’ll get there just start with the foundation. It’s like building a house looking in doesn’t tell you what in the walls. You have to go down to the studs and frame to understand the structure of the house. Keep on investigating and managing.🙏🏼💐❤️
