Yes, I had them..no they didn't really hurt..and no they didn't really help.

That said, I now have a hip issue and am going to do that route..to try as that is my only option!

I am hoping for a different result due to the different body part lol..one can hope.

I have hip pain too CQ....did they diagnose yours?

My ortho felt it is bursitis (as do I) the pain mgmt dr thinks it's from the lower back. My shot helped the lower back, but I'm still having pain in my hips.

What are you experiencing in your hips?
