Hello Beverly,
Sorry i'm late replying mate.
Beverly none of it never stops and sorry to hear you have tiochanteric bursitis, as i've got bursitis in the feet and ankles causing cracking...this happens anywhere in the body...no there's nothing they can do except painkillers to help mate and where it's the hips i'm getting the same pain it's murder....here's a video about it beverly you might find interesting.
Beverly the steriod if it does work will only last so long and if you walk to you feel a movement with the bone sometimes and if you sit abit to much it locks.
Beverly look at it like this mate.lol....we're science rats and the only way of finding good cures is testing the suffers who find it hard to get help for the pain.
My hearts with you mate. Hugs Terri xxx

Hi Tez, well i went to the doctor last Tues., and my MRI results were back - i give up !!! if it's not one thing or something with this LUPUS stuff. The test show that there is 2 things going on , 1. i have tiochanteric bursitis (which is from the LUPUS and there is nothing they can do-it's all part of the LUPUS process) and 2. i have bursitis only in the left hip .The doctor gave me a shot of sterriods in the left hip to help with the pain (that drives me TOTALLY crazie ) and said to come back within 6 to 8 weeks . Really i haven't felt a change YET but they say give it a week or to. I really don't think this will help either but of course they have to make us think that they are really trying -LOL LOL He also reordered for me to go for outpatient rehab, which am still waiting from them to contact me . I don't know what else to do , strange feelings make me want to cut my leg OFF-smile But on the other hand am a fighter and not giving up to LUPUS .make sure that you get as much rest as you possible can , talk with you later ...Beverly L.

There's different forms of arthritis also that can cause hip problems with Lupus...my left hip hurts terrible and i can feel the bone rubbing at times and that's through osteoarthritis where the joints rub to gether.
I do feel for you mate and i hope that jab gives you some relief.
