First diagnosed with hip bursitis in 2003, it's now 2013, still have extreme pain, I've had numerous injections over the years, take Motrin nothing seems to relieve the pain, at times it gets so bad I have to use a cane just to help me walk. My doctors tell me there is nothing they can do.

I had a medius gluteus tear in my hip three years ago. I had surgery and it hurt for a year. I had MRI and it was inflamed. I had cortisone injection and it helped. My hip has never been the same. I had a second MRI October 2013 and I now have trochanteric bursitis and it is extremely painful at night lying down. It hurts even when I lay on the other side. I had four injections over two years, took anti-inflammatory meds to no avail. Wondering if hip replacement will solve the problem.
