Subject: Bursitis

Hi Jill, I as wondering if you could give me some info on Bursitis, I got it injected about 3 weeks ago, it got a bit better for about a week but now it's worse than ever, even walking is very painful and going up stairs is even worse. I take Tramadol and paraetamol but most of the time it's no good unless I'm lying down doing nothing. Maybe go back to gp? I'm asking you because I know you had it a while back and I would be very gratful for any tips. I look forward to hearing from you, thank you.

Hi Bernie... I had Bursitis unknown to me for a couple of years, just thought it was hip pain, anyway, was refered to hip surgeon and even to prod or touch my Bursa really hurt, couldnt sleep etc, so he removed it...have a huge 9inch scar on right hip....however, even removing it didnt seem to work much, so had yet another Hip operation etc...its fine now, after a year, but my left Bursa began to hurt and got inflamed, had steroid injection, and that worked, coudnt bear to have that one removed.... I would def go see GP, he can refer u to Hip surgeon mb ?... I found lying down made my pain worse by the way, kept me awake at night... Im unsure this has helped you, mb u need stronger painkillers, Im on Zomorph... Was thinking about u yesterday, was going to send u a message today to see how u r keeping. pls let me know how things go ok... wish I could be more help, its a terrible pain I know... Take care Bernie

Love Jill x

Bernie Hi there... Do u suffer from back ache? I need another spine op, after having Hip surgery twice, My Hip surgeon thought that some of my Hip pain was reffered pain, coming from my spine..I hd another MRI on back, thought to myself, NO way is my hip pain coming from my spine...Obviously some of the Hip pain is due to arthritis and inflamation(get synovial inflamation staying on Hip area) anyway, had the MRI and I could not beleive that yet another Disc has been eaten away(Due to Reiters diseae Ive been told) anyway went back and my spine surgeon said I need another Op, this has scared me silly, anyway, he decided that I have a Spinal Probe(i njection of meds into Disc) after a week, my Hip pain felt less painful, and helped my spine Pain, So Im just wondering IF your Hip pain is coming from your Spine...worth a look at... I still get pain, Enbrel helps lot, but for the pain to go, I need a massive dose of Zomorph(enuf to Kill a Horse LOL) Im looking forward to having my 2nd spine op anywhere between Aug and new year...Put it off once cos I cant bear the thought of it all over again!

take care Bernie
