Psearny17 I have bursitis in one of my hips and the way I keep the pain away is lay on ice pls and go to Utube and search for exercises for bursitis, there 3 little exercises you can do. I do them every day , it definitely works . If you can’t get on the floor to do them do them on your bed , ice packs every day intuit starts getting better hope that helps , Judy

I also have chronic back problems and ice and wet heating pad helps with that plus tramadol gabapentin muscle relaxer stretching by pulling my legs up to my chest

I use a heating pad at bedtime and that helps. I can't take tramadol or gabapentin. I haven't found a muscle relaxer that works for me. Which one do you use. And I do stretching and pull my legs up to my chest; that helps, too. Guess I'm just so tired of not having the pain free body I once had.

@psearby17 I hear the frustration in your post about "not having the body I once had." I have fibromyalgia along with problems of my cervical spine. Pain is a daily factor. Fibro gives me terrible muscle spasms so I take Baclofen. It works quite well for me. Have you tried it for your muscle spasms? It may be something to talk to your doctor about. I also wanted to direct you to a post. What Distracts You from Your Pain. Many of our members are creative in getting some relief.
