@shabangy , may I ask how it was determined that the problem was bursitis? Was any imaging done to see if there may be other issues? I ask because years ago my bursitis and back pain were treated with PT and injections for almost 5 years and just got worse and worse. It turned out to badly eroded hip joints - the doctor proclaimed himself "shocked" and told me he would have guessed from my xray that I was 85 years old.
No one had ever thought to take an x-ray because I was "too young" and very petite.
Another thing that can impede healing of bursitis is knee, foot or gait issues. Have these been screened for you?
Figuring these things out can be like working a puzzle!

shabangy; what--if anything---did they do for the eroded hip joints? Like you, I've had several injections, used the creams for pain, etc, but nothing helps. I do have degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia, and I am 80. Just wondering if there is any help for the joints??
