I’ve struggled with bursitis in my hips for almost a decade and don’t seem to get any help from doctors…the only med that has ever worked to lessen the pain was naproxen, but I can’t take that now that I’m pregnant. I also have an adhesive allergy so I can’t do KT tape. Any advice on helping with the pain?

      @Jules7 I had a doctor tell me the shots weaken the tissue in the hip making things worse

      Cortisone shots don't work either. I got one in my hip and it lasted a whole day.

      I’ve tried Voltaren in the past and unfortunately it does nothing for my hips. The bursa is in too deep and the cream doesn’t penetrate far enough.
