>Kim, do you suffer with tochanteric bursitis, too? I've been

Yes.  I think that my totally unstable sacrum and surrounding
structures finally started affecting other areas.  Sometimes the
trochanters are actually more disabling than the sacral stuff.  In
addition to pain and weakness in the trochanter area, about a year
ago i started experiencing lightning bolts of pain there too.  The
*only* thing Docs have been able to suggest is cortisone, which has
absolutely no affect.. so i only do them when a *new* doc thinks i
havent had shots from *them*.  sigh.

I do a *lot* of research and have never heard of either removing
fluid (does this help ?) or removing the bursae.  Have you any
references or anecdotes of the trochanteric bursae being removed ?

This whole mess is also made worse by weight bearing, as is my
original complaint.  Swimming neither improves or worsens the
situation.

Thanks for writing.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
