Bursitis and hip pain

Posted by deyo5656 @deyo5656, Jun 19, 2018

What is the difference between bursitis and hip pain? I saw a doctor and she said I have bursitis but now I also have hip pain.

@srodw thank you for your reply, my last injection was ultrasound guided but I only had pain relief for 3 months. It will be worth mentioning to my consultant about an MRI scan and ask about GL tears.
My main problem is I have bursitis in both hips and can only get cortisone injections into one hip at a time.

I guess it depends on the medical person giving the cortisone injections. I had my last ones 3 months ago and she gave me a jab on both sides.

Yes this was the first time cortisone injections didn’t work for me at all. Then I got both PRP injections done in both hips at the same time. Good luck!
