Have you had ultrasonic-guided steroid injections for hip bursitis?

I've had hip bursitis on both sides for five years. One side is more painful than the other. I've had four steroid injections into the hips, none of which made any difference at all. I've just been given painkillers and told that, if it becomes unbearable, I can ask to be referred to the pain clinic.

Has anyone had ultrasonic-guided steroid injections at all? I've been offered this for trigger finger, but it's never been mentioned for the bursitis. So tired of always being in pain from this. I'd be very interested if anyone in the UK has had steroid injections administered in this way - much more accurate, I would imagine and may well actually make a difference!
