LisaJ:

It started there at is seems lodged morso in the butt at the present time.

My PCP seemed to think it was temporary busitis but I am wondering if he is right in that it has been seven months. He also claimed that the symptons were very similar to sciatic nerve problem, (a long story), as the pain started in the hip and radiates down the entire leg sometimes into the foot.

Was it major surgery to have the bursa removed?

As I move around during the day, it seems to be relatively mild pain or at least tolerable unless I make certain movements that remind me.

I hope the next shot makes it go away and stay away.
