@annec2525 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As you can see, we share our journeys and experiences in the effort to support each other and show what has worked for us! May I ask you, what are you doing for your bursitis now? I am having the same problem in my left side, and dr is getting approval for an MRI. Getting decent sleep at night is something to hope for, isn't it?

Chronic pain is different for so many people. This is a safe place to share, and not be criticized [I hope!] for our choices.

How did you find Mayo Connect?

Mayo came up in my FB feed. I am so glad I found this. I have some 800 mg ibuprophen I take when it wakes me up. One time I ended up in the ER with a muscle spasm so severe in my neck I was crying in pain. They gave me ibuprophen and valuim in an IV and to my amazement it worked. So my general practice doctor allows me to keep a few valium around just in case I have a severe pain attack. I have used the ibuprophen with the valium and it does work. Getting a prescription for valium is almost as hard as getting pain meds.
Nothing worse than waking up in pain. Well, except not waking up at all. LOL
