Bursitis & Fibromyalgia
Since I've had Fibromyalgia, I have constant bursitis in my greater trocanter (hip bursa) as well as a constant inflammation of my SI joints.
I receive shots in my hips every few months, sometimes monthly. I do the exercises given to me by my DO, however, I have only short term relief from the shots. I apply ice. I still have the bursitis and it won't go away.
I never had any hip injuries prior or since to cause bursitis.
Does anyone else have recurrent bursitis with their Fibromyalgia?

Thank you all for any help you may have ahead of time!! God Bless u all! Thanks Boxerbabs
This week the cool weather gave me an horrible bursitis pain in my hip and also increased the pain all around my body caused by fibromyalgia. Had to have cortisone shot in my hip..couldn't take the pain anymore and not a single pill was able to give me any relief. Hoping the cortisone shot starts working ASAP.
I have it really bad in my shoulders, and effects my arms and hands so bad that I can't move. I use to not be able to lay on my hips at all, I mean horrific pain not more than 2 minutes and I would have to move. I got this matters that is like the one with the wine won't spill when jumping on it. Well I just got the one at walmart that is 2 inchs thick or so. And now I can lay on my side its great live by it. It doesn't help my back pain at all but I can lay on my side.
WOW I read your complaints and I see and feel your pain.I sleep with pellowa all around me for the same reason.they are just finding out I have bursitis along with my fibro.I did not know about people with fibro have great chance on having bursistis.you sound like me.I am having pt now for shoulder but after treatment I feel like a truck hit me and all I want to do is sleep.but its hard to sleep when I hurt.nights and when weather chanhges I have hard times.I don't like to go out in snow or cold it mmakes my body worse.I use epsin salt bath icy hot and cold packs and heat all the time.I started having all these problems after auto accident and after my son was born 2001 I was about 28 and I have never been my self scence.I always wonder if any one else has the same things I complain about. There is so much more areas that I have pain and sometimes pain will be weeks and then sometimes I end a few days then will be in anotherr area. Sleep is not good I don't sleep that much because I toss and turn all night after this happening for couple weeks then I pass out and u can't get me up. Then I tend to sleep sometimes in the day pain is there but less then night comes and watch out starts all over again.
Yes Fibro and Bursitis are taking their toll. The cortisone injections have given me some great relief for shoulders, arms, neck and hips. They are not working for the ankle achille tendon area, Can barely walk without vicadon and yet still pain. The injections are always worth a try and I am terrified of needles. The pain from injections last 30 sec most it's worth it for the relief. Provigil has helped me with fatigue for many years but even that is waning. Good luck. Chris
I hope I am doing this right, I am commenting on the Fibro and Brusitis.
I was supposed to have surgery for Brusitis and bone spurs 4 years ago. I chose not to do it because I am young and use mostly naturapathic/alternative medicine. Now my shoulders are in constant pain though some days (like today) are far worse than others. Today I cannot reach across my body. I am still not sure that I would have been a lot better off with the surgery, but am almost to the point that I would do anything to make this pain stop. I don't sleep much, my arms go numb if I stay in one spot long.
I train service dogs as a volunteer and one good tug on the leash and I am useless for days. My hips are starting to degrade too. My left hip joint sticks and does not want to move at times. Knees are so swollen all of the time that kneeling is a really bad idea. Unfortunately now I don't have health insurance and could not get help from an allopath. Over the counter nsaids are the only medicine I can use.
However I can say that for natural relief, Epsom salt bathes are fantastic. Ginger root is a nice systemic ani-inflammatory. Reiki and Tai chi and Yoga are all good for pain management. When you can move of course. Even Acupuncture has shown good benefits.
It is snowing in PDX today and I cannot go outside with my kids, the bad weather has caused my Fibro to flair and I am on the couch with a blanket.
I really only come to these boards when I need to commune with people that understand being this sick even though we don't look sick.
Though I wish none of us had to go through this, it is nice to know we are not alone in our battle.
Good luck everyone.
