Hi I am new to connect. I wanted to share that I have had bursitis for years and annually received cortisone shots which were effective. When they treated it by using the ultrasound to see directly where to enter the shot is was most effective and I was actually good for a few years. Then it started up again last year and it didn’t work. So they did an MRI on my hips and I have chronic tendinosos in bursar and gluteus Maximus and minimus and slight labral tear in groin. It was SO painful I struggled walking it felt like my hamstrings were ripping if my stride was too long. I recently did the Plasma Rich Platlet PRP injections. I had to pay out of pocket but I heard it’s successful. I’m still going through the varies phases in the healing process. But my doctor did mention if the glutes were torn the next step is surgical so it does seem to be a thing (to the other person who responded to your comments if reading this). In addition I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I am still trying to process that. I strongly suggest MRI and The PRP as next steps.

@srodw thank you for your reply, my last injection was ultrasound guided but I only had pain relief for 3 months. It will be worth mentioning to my consultant about an MRI scan and ask about GL tears.
My main problem is I have bursitis in both hips and can only get cortisone injections into one hip at a time.
