Thanks!!! That would make perfect sense. Last time I went in he did say that my right hip had the bursitis, gave me a shot of cortisone, and it feels great!...

Hi. I was on Azulfadine for a number of years, and felt it did a good job. I did not start taking it until my spine was already fused so I did not notice any...
I take Alzulfidine and Piroxicam together and have had great luck w/the combination. I can really tell if I miss a couple days of either...so I'm not sure...

I haven't seen anything, so I just use the damp towel over the heating pad. Trust me I do know your pain though, I tend to get bursitis in my hips, shoulders...
