Hi Hagrid, sorry to hear that your hip is causing you so much pain and discomfort 🥲 have you had any X-rays or MRI ? I had avascular necrosis in my right hip. Ended up having hip replacement surgery. I’m so glad I did 🤗 sending hugs and prayers your way 🙏🏻

Hi, oh snap, mines a fracture in pelvic bone and split bone in hip, never known pain like it. Can't remember how to walk, even sitting hurts, think they'll do hip surgery eventually. Have you had the bursitis confirmed? Thy just keep saying walk or exercise s much as possible. No pain meds work, so good luck to us both. Xx
