Bursitis

[Muckypup]

I have been suffering from Hip Birsitis for about 9 months now. I have never been a sporty person or did that much excersise, but I have done a lot of walking in my life, so I can only put the bursitis down to that, and I have never bee able to sit and cross my legs so sat with my legs out to the side, which thinking about it is probably a more likely contributing factor. I barely weigh 7 stone so weight is not an issue.

If I sit or walk or stand for too long the pain gets very bad. I rely heavilly on painkillers which is not the best thing to do, but doing stretching and excersises causes too much pain during and afterwards. I have heard about the coristeriod injections you can have but have read from others comments that they do not help a great deal.

I cannot rest it as life does not let you rest when you have to work or have commitments. Has anyone tried any alternate therapies that have work for them to relive the pain and condition?
