How to treat hip bursitis?

Hello,

Because the diagnosis does not seem to be determined at this time, it is difficult to make a good recommendation. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs (Naproxen) should be reserved for pain that is related to inflammation. The description of the onset of your symptoms suggests that Tylenol (acetaminophen) may help, and that is what I would tend to recommend at this time.

Have you ever tried Tylenol?

I'm not the expert on stretching, but I think you could benefit from a physiotherapy management program. This would at least help you recognize movements that could aggravate or reoccur the symptoms you are experiencing now.

Only a physiotherapist can tell you if such stretching and exercises will help you avoid cortisone infiltration.

We look forward to seeing you,
