Welcome to the Pain Management Forum of MedHelp. I am sorry you are having pain that is undiagnosed.
I have hip bursitis also. It was DX some years ago but my pain continued also, for years. I was finally seen by a Doctor of Osteopathy. She recognizied my pain as SI Joint Dysfunction. I am not saying that is what is causing your pain. I would at least eliminate that possibility. Sacroiliac Joint pain often goes undiagnosed because it is so rare.
I wish you the best of luck. Please keep us updated and let us know how you are doing. Take Care, Tuck
I had that same diagnosis, bursitis I never did agree with him.. But.. now my Ns has suggested my pain is illiac crest related. I did some research and on wikipedia under sacroilliac joint. The symptons are EXACTLY what I experience. Thorocolumbar dysfunction has similar symptons. I have reduced leg pain when driving since I had a 2- level fusion, but I am still having severe leg pain when I'm lying down. I don't sleep for very long before my hips and legs hurt so bad I'm up and walking around, then end my night on the couch. Miserable. I have a 5 year old and recently went back to work. Something's gonna give eventually. I am waiting to be scheduled for bilateral SI joint injections,and I'm hoping they will do the trick. I had to bring up the topic of SI joiont dysfunction to my PM Dr., he wanted to try protherapy. I don't think that would do anything for me. So I'm doing the joint injections. I hope yoou get to the bottom of your problem, it's a frustrating process,but if you help your Dr. along by doing some research you may get faster results. Keep us informed on what you find out.
