Pregnant with Trochanteric Bursitis... What can I do? I can't sleep....?

I am pregnant and I have always had Trochanteric bursitis. (The hip) All the doc said I can take is Tylenol....it is not working and I cannot sleep comfortably on my back...what the heck can I do? I can't sleep and it is terribly painful. Anyone know of anything else I can take or do or try? Thanks in advance should something work....

Yes - you can't take NSAIDs during pregnancy, and tylenol won't address the inflammation of the bursitis, just cover up the pain a little.
Got the same thing, and putting a memory foam ("Space-Age" foam) pad on my bed helped it slowly for me. They used to be very expensive - $300-400 - but now they're much more common, and you should be able to find one for $100 or less at a discount department store.
