Cortisone injection for trochanteric bursitis?

JK: No “padding” at all....... will keep guided shot in mind. Had that several years ago in spinal area for Sciatica. I’m just hesitant since during the past 15 months I also had 2 cortisone injections in the knee, one pre-arthroscopic surgery, one post, and neither one lasted more than 3 days - ergo TKR. Hip was X-rayed, no arthritis or other visible issue.

@ellerbracke My hip problems are strictly bursitis and I have read that hip replacements can make that worse! Sometimes they are OK, and other times, like the last few nights, I can't sleep on either side. It's been quite a while since I had a cortisone injection, if this continues I will go for one again. I am tempted to go back to Boston since that doctor always hit it right on target. I no longer have the extra padding but even without it, doctors can miss.
