Hi Mary, I have an appointment to get a guided cortisone shot in my right hip bursa Wednesday so I'm hoping that ends my night pain while sleeping on my right side. Which is the side I mostly sleep on and get the best numbers for my sleep apnea. I'm also doing a few exercises that the PA showed me that will help with the muscle strength on the side of the hip. Good luck on your upcoming appointment. I hope they are able to provide you some help.

Does guided mean with an ultra sound? I can't pinpoint where the pain is.

John, I'll be thinking of you. I've had many of those shots and they really helped me through a lot of lower back pain. Don't get anymore. I've stopped all cortisone, as I have Sarcoid and have had a lot of steroids through the years. They help, tho, so enjoy the days of peace. Sleep will be your friend, my friend. Blessings, Elizabeth
