You got to have anything done about it miss K? that sounds like it fucking hurts. You asked the docs about things like cortisone shots? (steroid shot to the area to bring down inflammation and compression of the nerve) I've had them before, although for both my hips (bursitis, into the fluid-filled bursae, the bits that serve to lubricate passage of musculature over bone, as a movement-focussed 'shock absorber' in a manner of speaking, anti-friction padding. When those get inflamed, bursitis, its absolute murder. So I've had steroid shots into those before, hurts a fair bit into the bursae, and had them in my buggered up knee, where they basically stick a long needle through the side of the knee into the joint-space and pump in a shot of corticosteroid along with some local anaesthetic in with it, and it helps for quite a long time, IIRC max that can be done is 3 monthly. I'm overdue for gettign them redone. But they work for months once done. My main GP, the one assigned me from the start is really good at it, knows exactly where to aim for an intra-articular injection (into a joint cavity) and just gets it done as quickly and relatively painlessly as I would giving myself an intravenous injection of a conventional painkiller, at worst as bad as my giving myself an intramuscular shot. (I don't like those, from myself or from anybody else) but he is good at the joint and bursitis steroid shots and its always the same guy I go to to get those done because of that. And he's quick as well as accurate.
