I have awful hip pain, I'e diagnosed as bursitis since sitting a long time on an airplane around 2 months ago. I saw my general practitioner last week and i have an appointment tomorrow for a hip xray. He wants to make sure cancer from my breast cancer didn't spread to the bone before he sends me to an orthopedic surgeon. I'm wearing two girdles to try to keep it from hurting and loads of ibuprofen. I want an injection. I live alone out in the country and it would be really hard to get to appointments with a chiropractor or to physical therapy. I'm 82 years old and was walking fine before this.
