Suggest Treatment For Bursitis With Stiffness In Leg And Knee

I am experiencing stiffness and achiness in my legs, knees, hips, feet, hands, back, and wrist. I have problems sleeping at night because I toss and turn constantly because my whole body hurts. I do have bursitis in my hips but the cortisone shot does not work anymore. I just received one of them last month. I am just not stiff in the morning, I am stiff all day.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Presenting a history of stiffness and aching sensations around the leg knee feet hip wrist hands and back with a history of bursitis at the hip I will suggest you have developed an arthritis

Regarding your diagnosed arthritis it is necessary get confirmation by doing a lab test which include
Rheumatoid factor
ESR
C-reactive protein
Joint fluid aspiration for culture of microorganisms

Hence your treatment for the stiffness and aching sensations include tablet prednisone nurofen Athrotec

Concerning your cortisol shot for your diagnosed bursitis I will suggest you see your physician for further clinical assessment and re-evaluation of your medication

I hope this helps Regards
