    I have had this in both my hips for the past 20+ years. It comes and goes thank the Lord. When it flares up l can hardly walk, the only thing that helps when they are hurting is cortisone injections into the bursa. Oh and a hot water bottle and rest. Using a topical cream sometimes helps like pain away or something like that. Hope this helps l know what it's like and l feel for you.
