Cortisone injection hip for trochanteric bursitis

I had that condition. My GP gave ne 3 options.
1. Cortisone injection
2. Physiotherapy
3. Bide my time and it will get better.
I took options 3 and the pain eventually went.
Depends on how painful it is as to which course of action you take. It was uncomfortable and I used a stick for a time. For me, simply waiting worked.
Only you know how bad it is. Take your GPs advice and I hope you recover very soon. Good luck !

Thanks Shelflife it was my orthopaedic surgeon who referred me after broken hip back in December, then 2 dislocations.
Food for thought.

I had this procedure back in April . It was done by a doctor. Not at all painful and the hip pain has gone . They can’t guarantee for how long though .
