Carol, I used to feel alone seven years ago when I went from a healthy 33 year old with trochanteric bursitis but just read all the posts under trochanteric bursitis and everybody trying to find a way to get rid of it. I have had surgery to remove the bursa twice and the it band resected and I still hurt everyday. All I can tell you is to get a good pain management dr. and pray someday they will come up with a way for those of us who cannot seem to get relief to finally be free of this horrible life altering pain.
