A member asked:
I had osteogenic sarcoma, with a van nes rotation amputation. my hip has a bursa and steroid injections have stopped working. how can i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See detail: Get an MRI of the area. If it shows bursal inflammation, speak with orthopedist about surgical removal. Remember pain in that area can also be referred from the lower back.
