I had hip replacement 6 years ago. It was my right hip. The pain was in my pelvic area not on my side. There is a percentage of people that get bursitis after hip replacement and I am one of the lucky ones. The pain from bursitis is on my side not in the pelvic area. I walk for exercise. And yes, it hurts if I lay on my right side to sleep. So far I am hanging in there with shots about every six months. By the way 83 year old female

Good morning @gussie. I am an 82-year-old female with similar challenges. About 10 years ago I was introduced to MFR, myofascial release. I am now being treated twice a week for SFN (small fiber neuropathy) occasional right hip bursitis and some pretty invasive aging issues. Have you been introduced to MFR? I want to introduce you to Jennifer Hunter,@jennifer0324. Last week she presented a session on MFR to all of the mentors here on Mayo Connect. She can help you find helpful and current information MFR.

Hello , I had my left hip
Replacement in 2021 , it was replaced because I was in an auto accident in 2018. I had a torn labrum repaired but it did not take care of the pain eventually I needed the hip replaced and since then I have pain from bursitis , the current surgeon wanted to release or to cut the tendon causing the issue, but did mention that it may not take care of the pain .I decided to go to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion I did see Dr. Hevesi He did recommend that I stretch the tendon instead of cutting it , that procedure he performs , so in December, I will be going to Mayo Clinic to have this done. I will let you know and keep you all posted as to how I am after that thank you very much.
