I'd like to invite @cindymattern, @laughlin1947 and @loulou13 who all mentioned having bursa injections from a joint replacement to share their experiences with how it worked for them and whether or not they were instructed on the risk of infection from the shot itself.
@medicaltalkline, it is good to hear that you met with someone who addressed your concerns and offered a potential solution. Did they think PT would be successful? Does your PT now involve doing exercises you weren't previously doing?

@JustinMcClanahan Not sure how this works. Will the people above see my response? jreed427
I think the medical provider wanted me to give more PT a try. I am in 3rd week now and it has been helpful as far as strengthen and better balance. However, I have pain flare-ups that last up to 5 days and I have to revert to using the cane. I had 2 in September. Yes, the exercises are different and are targeting the muscles that support the bursa. Getting the bursa shot doesn't bother me but I am worried about the infection risk.
