Hi -

I was almost totally unable to walk by my 7th month of pregnancy. Finally I was diagnosed with Bursytis (Spelling?) by an orthopeadist in Vail. He injected some kind on numbing agent like lidocain and a steroid into each bursa in each hip. Sounds painfuly huh? Not even comparable to the paid I was feeling from the bursytis! I went into his office in a wheelchair and walked out on my own. I had to do this proceedure one more time before I delivered but it was well worth it.

I am now 5 months pregnant with twins and my hips are starting to burn already. I will not hesitate to get the shots again as soon as I need them.

Good Luck - A.J.
