Hi, thank you for answering. Yes, I did have an xray but the ortho doctor just decided that it was bursitis. I thought bursitis was only supposed to last for a couple of weeks. I am going to stay down for a couple of weeks and see if I can heal it that way. This is so frustrating!

I have had bursitis off and on for 2 years. If I faithfully do the PT exercises and swim several times a week, it goes away altogether or greatly improves. Frequently life and work derails that regular exercise and without fail—— it comes back. Every time. I am trying to do better with maintaining those exercises. It makes all the difference. I also have RA so the pain forces me to the gym. Sometimes the only thing that helps is the swimming.
