A member asked:
If i get repeated troncanteric bursitis and steroid injections do help the pain but it never goes away completely is it likely i have a tear

Possible: See an orthopedist. A steroid shot should help, however you need to take care of the problem by muscle balance, stretching, and core strengthening. Evaluating your stride, shoes, bike fit etc to avoid problems in the future.
