I HAVE HAD BURSITIS IN MY LEFT HIP SINCE DECEMBER 1999 WHEN I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I HAVE TRIED PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS OVER THE PAST 26 MONTHS,, ULTRA SOUND, STRETCH EXERCISES,X RAYS, MRI, SEVERAL INJECTIONS WHICH ONLY GIVE ME RELIEF FOR A MONTH AT MOST, HEAT, ICE, VIOXX LARGEST DOSE 3 TIMES A DAY, CELEBREX LARGEST DOSE 2 TIMES PER DAY GLUCOSIMINE. THE DOCTOR SAID HE WOULD DO SURGERY ON HIP BUT THE OPERATION HAS A POOR SUCCESS RATE. CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY ARE DOING AFTER THE SURGERY?
