                        I do ice twice a day for 40 minutes, each time.  I take anti-inflammatory medication, vioxx 25mg and exercises given to me in pt.  I have had this for 3 years, starting in my right hip and going to my left a year ago.  I still have it even with the above.  I think there is not much one can do for hip bursitis and I was thinking of trying pain management.  Maybe they would have more ideas.  It is worth a try.    Good Luck!
