Back and hip pain: Normal daily activity is generally best for the back pain. Avoid sudden heavy lifting. Consider physical therapy for a tailor made exercise program. For the hip bursitis, try OTC ibuprofen of tolerated. Avoid lying on that side, especially during sleep. Try ice packs to decrease pain and inflammation. Corticosteroid injection into the hip may help if other methods don’t.
