FFS: bursitis in the hip

[JayTea]

UGH!  I've been concentrating on being painless in my knees and feet for my half in two weeks and now I've got bursitis in my hip.

What to do?  My chiro has started me on PT - did stim on Thurs and will again on Tues... anything else I should ask for?  Ultrasound, maybe?  I've also started icing for 20 mins four times a day and taking diflucan as was directed for my PF and knee issues earlier in the year.

Any success with KT tape?  I'm going to the ortho on Thursday and plan on begging for cortisone.

Thanks!!

I had this, it sucked but ultimately went away with PT, ice 5x/day and 2 doses of aleve per day. I learned some glute-strengthening exercises which have helped a ton. I did get one cortisone shot, which got me through the initial pain.

Why do they have you on diflucan? That's an antifungal.

Because I get my drugs mixed up. Diclofenac.

Ahh gotcha. I'm on a topical diclofenac at the moment as well.
