hi.
I read ur question thouroughly.dear bursitis takes time to heel.if such patients come to my clinic I advice them Non steroidal anti inflammatory medicine.which relieve pain and inflamation both.in my opinion i should also take it until ur symptoms are relieved.
continue applying ice packs for 10 to 15 minutes at one time,3 to 4 times daily.
keep ur leg elevated.
take tab etoricoxib 60mg daily 1 tab for minimum 1 month.
I hope it 'll work.in case of further query u r welcome any time.
