Hi I have bursitis of the hip bursa sacs. An MRI on my hips and spine showed this. The MRI also showed I have L5/S1 prolapse. The doctors have given me a nerve root block in my spine but nothing for the bursitis. Who should I see about this and what treatments are available for this problem on the NHS please? Thank you in advuce for any help and advice.

    See a hip joint orthopedic specealist. Depending on the type of bursitis treatment varies from rest steroid injections or aspiration of excess fluid causing the pain. Sometime surgery is necessary. See a doc to best help you with treatment for your pain and management of bursitis. I had mine removed during hip joint replacement. Had severe osteo arthritis. I hope you can manage and treat your bursitis and better soon.everone is different. 

    best wishes 😊

    Have you tried cryotherapy? Its main objective is to relieve aches and pains, particularly in muscles and joints after workouts or surgeries. It provides pain relief by treating the affected area with cold liquid nitrogen, administered to the body standing in a cryo chamber. It relieves pain due to the anti-inflammatory effects of the cold. This is one treatment you may not have heard of, but it may work well for your condition.
