@gussie I have left hip bursitis and also just found out I have a tear in the tendon. The doctor I saw said I might receive occasional steroid shots but not many - as. they are known to damage the tendon further. The singular shot I had (from another physician in another field) gave me no relief anyway. I've been told my circumstance is irreversible and been prescribed cons4rvative PT, which has not yet begun. I wish you good luck.
