I have bursitis in my left hip. I am seeing a chiropractor who uses ultrasound on it to reduce the inflammation. I ice it whenever I can. Episodes take a while to go away, but I refuse to go the medication way.

Unfortunately Aleve is the only think I can take when I need it, at least until I see the surgeon for possible different advice.  I'm under the care of my primary care though because  i need it at prescription dose.  Thank  you for the link.

Thank you for that advice...I do tend to forget sometimes.  I am on misopropstol to prevent ulcers in my stomach from the high dose I am on of the Aleve.

I found out that ice helps bursitis better.  For now, my doctor has me on 4 Aleve a day, and my surgeon is getting back to me next week.

Does Heat help Bursitis?
