@contentandwell @lioness. I have hip bursitis and S I joint disfunction for a couple of months now, my orthopedic doctor gave me a cortisone shot, then recommended PT. I don't think the shot did much. PT was helpful but it's still there. He doesn't want to give me any more shot. Now I'm feeling discomfort in the other hip. I'm just about giving up. I've not been walking much but today I ventured to Starbucks which took me 40 minutes! Almost twice the time it normally takes. My physical therapists use laser to bring down the inflammation and gave me lots of exercise to do at home. They don't accept my Medicare HMO, but they do give me a cash discount which still costs an arm and a leg. Fortunately my daughter had arranged with them to bill her from now on. I hope I'll get better soon, my next trip to my orthopedic doctor will be for my spinal stenosis which too had gotten worse with all that sitting in the last 9 months. I have never been sedentary in my life until this year. Enough venting, sorry. Just found out my hip doctor is the team doctor for the football team the Chargers!
