Had myself an injection in the bursa Monday. Today is Weds… it was a little better yesterday and today nothing has changed, which tells me that either the injection was insufficient or that the diagnosis is incorrect. Two weeks ago I had an MRI which was another $500 and the results were inconclusive (no definitive diagnosis) and the doctor said that a contract MRI might be needed to rule out a torn labrum, but he wanted to go with the bursa injection first because my symptoms did not fit that of a torn labrum.
The injection cost me $500 (that’s my portion of the deductible) to the hospital and it’ll be another $3-500 for the radiologist’s fee.
I’ve been off running, riding, and weights for 8 weeks with little to no improvement.
WTF am I supposed to do about this condition? It’s been ongoing for about 1.5 F N years now!!!
I did IMTX last year despite the pain, and regardless of my activity level it has never gotten worse, but it never has gotten better either!
HELP!
