Trochanteric bursitis - hot, painful and can be relieved with a steroid 'Depo Medrone' injection ……. or not.  I expect that the massage did as much 'good' as the acupuncture ……..  ……… irritation of these various spots are due to constant movement of the joints

Yep, when it was first diagnosed the consultant told me it was quite specific to joggers!  Not something that I have done but then we worked out that it started not long after we got our first dog so I was walking a lot more than I had been.  Don't know if it was the massage or the acupuncture that worked, just glad it's gone for a while

Doesn't matter, so long as you are pain free! 

How's you Honeybun?

Was at the GP this morning but it was for my stomach. Anyways I did have a lot to ask her and as usual she was lovely even when I got onto my third well maybe fourth thing 

I am being referred for physio. She will ask for a report from the physio and then decide whether I need an X Ray and to be referred on.
Given the fact I needed to talk about other stuff I thought that sounded quite good.

It has calmed down a lot which is good. I'm rubbing ibuprofen cream on night and morning which is helping.

Stairs are a challenge but as I live in a bungalow  ...Mind you I have a house with stairs for my summer holiday....hope it's a bit better by then.

Glad that you have a supportive GP! did she recommend any oral medication in case. Hopefully the rubbing in will ease symptoms ……. as for the stairs, you have a DH

I can't take ibuprofen CLKD, not with my tummy. The best I can take is paracetamol.

She did suggest resting....I laughed.


As for carrying me upstairs.....those days have long gone. I will go up on my bum if needs be. We have a downstairs loo so no need to be going up and down all the time.
