Was at my GP today, and it was confirmed that I have Bursitis in my left hip, on which is a form of Arthritis. On which it has also been confirmed as having Arthritis in my lower back too....
Just when you feel things are getting better, then bang....
The pain am in today, is the worst pain I have endeavoured for years. Am back to using both walking aids, my three wheeled walker is also on standby, I can see it getting a spring clean and ready to use....
Suppose it's the joys on living with general pain, 24/7....

Unfortunately there is no joy in living with pain I have lived with it for a long time and when you think your at your worse there's something else.I had a bad fall which has put me back to walking with two crutches and my scooter,I am on morphine and other meds,but Still the pain is bad I wish I could say to you there is light at the end of the tunnel it is a horrible thing to live with pain! Is a curse hope you are not to bad . Yours Grumpygrampa
Oh Joe its grim coming to terms with having chronic pain but don't despair. There will be lots of things you and your GP can do to help it. What kind of arthritis ?
Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa but not a kind of arthritis. I have had it in the past and steriod injections for it. I also found volarol gel helpful.
