Bursitis [View all]

What treatments do you recommend?
I haven't done anything, except for a hip biopsy when the first hip started to hurt. It's in both hips now and the pain alternates. I have weeks where it doesn't bother me, and then I'll have a period where my walking is impeded.
I see my PCP next week and I'll ask what to do.
