Diagnosed With Bursitis In Both Hips. Pain Returned After Injection. Can It Be Treated Without Drugs?
Hi, I was diagnosed with Bursitis in both my left and right hips. The pain keeps me awake at night nearly every night. About six weeks ago, my GP sent me for and injection in both hips and the pain has come back in the last week. I also have Meniere's Disease and Tinnitus which I am coping with but the hip and leg pain is the biggest problem. Can you suggest something to help me preferably without drugs so I can, at least, get a good night's sleep. Thank you Glenda Corbett
HI Thank for asking to HCM If it is really bursitis then it need to be treated otherwise this could go into chronicity, and will become difficult to treated, if you finish the course of disease then you will feel much better, I would like to advise you to take the "Doxycycline 100 mg once in day for 15 days, this will give very good result for the pain you can have a "Diclofenac tab. once in day, take care and have nice day.
