R Hip pain, hopefully resolved.....

For those who may not know this, I have been battling some R hip pain for the last 3 months. I really dont recall doing anything to injure it, so I figured I would just sorta let it be. Well, the let it be eventually evolved into a trip to the orthopeadic surgeon over at MSU sports med. Come to find out, I have a severe R greater trocanter bursitis. I had a cortisone injection today; immediately, it began to feel more like normal again-I could flex/extend pronate/supinate my hip without wincing in pain (lidocaine, gotta love it.) Of course, now that the anesthesia is wearing off, I am starting to experience pain yet again, only this time, its not so much the hip, rather its were the needle was placed for the injection. As much as I hate to say this, I am going to try and take it easy this weekend. That means that the lawn will not get mowed and a few other things will not get done, however, my body needs rest-(as I choke to get that out; hell I dont ever rest and for those who know me, it will more than likely destroy me somehow). What to do what to do-quite honestly, I feel myself getting bored already. This is going to be a loooonnnngg and painful weekend. And, if the cortisone does not work, I need to follow up and go from there; which in my book, typically involves some sort of treaded surgical procedure. I can hope and pray this works. If I werent so damn stubborn, I would not have gotten to this point. Its the Irish blood in me, that is for sure.....
