What Is The Treatment For Ischial Bursitis?
I have been told I have ischial bursitis one both sides . I have had the cortisone shots 1 1/2 years ago and it didn t help. It is getting worse, I can hardly sit over 1 hr. at a time or I start to ache. I have been doing several stretches everyday for about 2 months.

Hi you have Ischial Bursitis and are unable to sit for long periods. Steroid shots did not help either. In my clinic , For this condition . I would give you anti inflammatory pain killers , local heat , and Gluteal + Spinal Exercises. Stretches may not help at this stage , but muscle strengthening exercises will be of much more help.
