Subject: oral prednisone for hip bursitis? I have been having issues with my right hip since I hurt it at the end of April. At first it was a burning pain with a snapping sensation. Now it is just a nagging pain until I try to run or bike and then it flares up again. The doctor said since I have rested it and taken ibuprophen without success, I should take a short course of prednisone. I have never heard of taking a steroid for an injury? I have never taken it before for anything. It kind of scares me. Has anyone done this before? Any opinions? Thanks |
