Anyone know how to lessen bursitis pain?


A good friend of mine was told she has bursitis in her hip. The doctor sent her to physical therapy, which seemed to irritate it more.

Exercise would make it worse...

No no no it was not that bad.. In six weeks from the operation I was playing golf.. Good luck and God bless Grant M in Pennsylvania
