Why are epidural steroid injections for back pain limited to only a few a year? May 1 7:55am | By Richard H. Rho, M.D. (@richardrho)Comment receiving replies
I fell 8 years ago...MRI indicated bursitis L4/L5, PT, Chiropractor...no help. Orthopedic dr. told me I have one leg longer than the other. My problem has gone from pelvic tilt to muscle imbalance and now I am experiencing a leakage. Every day I have moisture on the left side of my body...I am soaked when I wake up in the morning because it seems to be worse at night. I've told my PT and Dr. but they have no clue what is happening. My alignment is better (thanks to daily stretching and exercise but the "leak" remains constant. I have pain and I think the leak is a punctured bursa sac. My doctor thinks it is just sweat. Has anyone else experienced a leak/moisture after an injury? What caused it and how was it fixed? I have been to so many doctors and they all seem to read from the same book. I need an expert who can dig in and find the answer to my problem.

@goldie01, an orthopedic doctor can drain the bursa. It might be good to have the moisture examined (biopsied) to ascertain that it is not infected. I suspect it isn't sweat, but exactly what you self-diagnosed, a leaking bursa.
