I was diagnosed years ago with bi lateral trochanteric bursitis and it flares bad in cold weather but more so when it rains. Before I started injections I literally slept on ice packs under both my hips all night it was the only way I could get relief. Injections work great. I also have knee bursitis, arthritis in my elbows, back, hands (thumbs-bad) and neck. Oh let me not forget I recently was told I have arthritis in my jaws ( the right is bone on bone).Everything with me is bilateral I only do cortisone injections because I’m not a fan of meds and I have a high pain tolerance. Not only do I have inflammation everywhere but also deal with migraines and cervicogenic headaches .

Since everything is bilateral, have you been tested for rheumatoid arthritis! My understanding oh bursitis is that it evolves due to the irritation/inflammation in the underlying joint. That’s is more of a symptom than a separate condition. I’m glad the injections help, but the cortisone does affect the stability/disintegration of the underlying joint. I wouldn’t think it was something you’d want indefinitely.

Uggh! I’m sorry for all of your pain. I have Chronic pain as well and am not a fan of medications. However, in your case it sounds like it’s somehow systemic and you would probably get the most relief from some type of medication or natural herb.
