Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been dealing with a quite painful hip for 3 months. Onset was when I bent and picked up a lightweight pot. I am currently on Symponi (began 1 month ago). My rheumatologist said I had bursitis. Will the Symponi help or do I have to go get a steroid shot. The pain level is getting worse with time (about a 7 now) and interfering with my life. thank you
