Did I develop the dreaded Trochanteric Bursitis???

[haldox]

So far so good with the back pain(mustve been all the well wishes!!-thank you), but still have the TB and its loud and clear. We had a very busy weekend and the TB didnt like it one bit! Trying to take it easier today. Cant wait to see the OS.

 

[Jaycey]

Yeah! Any day without back pain is one the celebrate :th_jumpy:!

Let us know how your appointment goes!

 

[haldox]

Thanks Jaycey! I will definitely update after appt but still have 8 days to go!

Update....Seen the OS yesterday and didnt really accomplish anything!:th_skeptical:Had Xrays done, they showed everything concerning the implant is great! I was told maybe TB, IT band issues and that maybe some blood pooled up in that area. So the OS took out a pretty big needle and tried aspirating fluid out but got nothing:th_2hissy1:

Now since he was digging around in there with the needle my leg is more sore and that lump is harder! :th_sigh:

OS also mentioned twice that he didnt think it was an infection and that never even crossed my mind until then! :th_hate-shocked:
So I was sent home to keep up with anti inflammatory and if its not better in 3 weeks, I was told to return. :th_sigh:

oh poor you Haldox,still no answers,if it is troc b' it is so painful and really holds you back, I see my OS next thursday about it, I hope he gets his big needle out to either kill or cure it!but I am expecting to be told to wait a few more weeks. I seem to be waiting forever for my full recovery:th_skeptical:

 

[haldox]

Yes, I was hoping for the same thing. I will keep my fingers crossed that your OS will relieve you quickly!:th_prayer2:

Physically I dont really hold back anymore because of this but its a mental downer. I think how it was wonderful beyond words to be pain free again and now sometimes it feels like it did pre op but without that bone on bone pain! :th_2tantrum2:

 

[Jaycey]

Haldox, I am so sorry you are still in pain! :th_2hissy1: I guess just give it some time. Rest, ice and take the meds.

This road is sometimes bumpy. Please don't get discouraged. It's just a matter of getting the control again - getting the balance right. You'll get there!

Take care! :th_console:

Can't you see a chiropractor? Mine was great at sorting out my piriformis problems.

Thanks Jaycey, it has been getting better!:smile:

I still have the lump there and tender to touch or lay on but the overall discomfort has diminished. I did some more research and found a good stretch, actually I felt :th_DOH:when I seen it! Also read up on using the TENS!! This website has great info on TB. :thmb:I'd say by the next day after using the TENS and doing the stretch it was feeling much better.

Jo-I havent visited the chiro in quite some time, back has been doing amazingly well, finally worked itself all out I guess. So I never thought about going for this as well:th_heehee:

 

[Jaycey]

Glad things are easing up Haldox. That stretch is a great one for back problems as well.

Hope things keep getting better!
