bursitis in hip joint

My friend has hip bursitis.....is it possibly septic bursitis? A few years ago he was treated with antibiotics for septic arthritis, and a year or so later with neck pain treated with the same antibiotic...the first episode was after a weeks stay in emergency being diagnosed , and getting a sternum infection before he was dismissed...

Hello!

As he has a history of various infections in his bones and joint spaces he has to be diagnosed properly by an orthopedician.

Go for his white blood cell count and C-reactive protein test to diagnose any acute infection and also follow up with some scans for diagnosis.

If required after a proper diagnosis he will be prescribed appropriate antibiotics.

Take care!
