Lynnette Sharp
I don't have burcitis in my hip, but I have had enormous pain since September of 1998. (I had basic female repair on both ends-nothing to with my hip but when I came out of that surgery my right hip looked like a TV set, it was that black.) In July of 1999 I started seeing a deep muscle massage therapist. It has helped tremendously. I also found something else that works wonders. I got some glutatmine from the GNC Health store. (The tip came from prevention alternative cures book. It was for chronic pain. It said to get glutamine. It also talked about post surgical pain. I knew that I was having major surgery in December of 2000, so I got some from the GNC store. I started taking 1000 mg of gluatimine-3 capsuls, twice a day. Within a week I started feeling much better. I came out of the surgery with absolutely no pain whatsoever. (This surgery was almost the same as the previous one). I quit taking the pills for a while & my pain in my hip & legs came back. I went back to taking my glutamine. Hope these 2 suggestions help you like they have helped me. If I can help you, please let me know.
