And yes, to me it does sound like bursitus, and the best med I know of for that is naproxen (Aleve).

Wider shoes? Amazing!

In a perfect world, all docs would be spot-on with their diagnosis.

Hmmm, actually, in a perfect world I guess there would be no pain.


DM, I hope you and your doc can find that magic potion to end your hip pain. Aaaackkkk!
