Hi to all just update . 8 months post op TRHR was doing fine up until jan then started having pain on outer side of hip . Had ultrasound scan today now confirmed trochanteric bursitis seeing consultant in 2 weeks to decide if steroid injection required. Cannot get sound advice re exercise so am asking my hippie experts !! I have been doing walking and working out using my "wii fit" but am struggling as also work 4 days a week as a special care dental therapist. I am seeing a physio shortly but would welcome any advice .

Regards and Hi to all my old hippies Renee, mic sassy bees, carole to name but a few

    I have had this complaint since the beginning of the year. Physio says I am twisting my spine when walking so have to retrain the brain. The pain today is 8/10 and no relief from painkillers. Thinking about tens or any advice anyone can give me to try and come to terms with this painful condition.

    Hi all saw consultant today re trochanteric bursitis. He is reluctant to give me steroid injection as risk of infection ! I have pain but more so when I sit for any length of time . I work for nhs so am seeing occupational health physio and doc and rescheduling my work loads to see if I can hang on a bit . I did ask if I did get infection what would it involve and it would mean replace the new hip !! He was lovely and has said it's my decision entirely and I can ring him whenever I like . I have opted no injection for now, take meds as and when and work with physio as much as possible and see him again in 3 months.

    Regards to all my old hippies
