I have been in pain with bursitis of the hip for eight months. Ice has helped, 600 mg. of Motrin three times a day for two weeks has alleviated some of the pain, but not all certainly, stretching helps as long as I do it gently. Perhaps you could tell me more about your symptoms and that might be helpful for me. The cortisone injection relief lasted two months only and was too painful to repeat. Check if there is a "hip society" in your area. I found one in the san Francisco Bay Area and they were helpful in pointing me to M.D.'s with expertise in this arena. But the pain goes on as of this date...so I would be interested to know if you receive any other good advice. Diana
