Bursitis

I've got bursitis in my hip and have had 3 steroid injections which haven't really worked I've also had physio and that also didn't work. Has anyone else got the same and how was it treated?

Mrs H has it in both hips for which she also has regular injections. Its only a temporary fix and wears off after a few months. Her doctor seems reluctant to offer anything else.

To have it in both hips must be terrible especially at night. What do you think her doctor should do mine has said it can be drained or removed but the success rate isn't good so the NHS won't do it

The doctor hasn’t really offered a solution and she’s apparently too young for hip replacement (under 60). It hard at night to get comfortable which results in her having broken sleep.

My partner has it in her knees, it makes the lower outside quarter (if you can imagine that) as you look at them.
They swell when she walks too far

How do they treat it ?
