Temporary tendinitis help?

[philstar22]

Okay, so, I've got tendinitis in my hip. And what I really need is a cortisone shot, but my pain doctor didn't have an appointment until March 5. And the pain has gotten pretty bad. I've been limping yesterday and today because it hurts too much to put full weight on that leg.

I'm taking all the ibuprofen and putting ice on it when I get home from work. Is there anything else I can do in the short term until I can see my doctor?

Is marijuana legal where you are, and are you able to take it (no allergies or drug testing)? If so I recommend CBD (Cannabidiol), 20 to 25 mg to start. Its helped with various pains of mine, including arthritis, perhaps it can help you too. Good luck.

Nope. I live in Texas, sadly. Not even medical marijuana is legal. Thanks, though.

Oh bummer. :( Well hopefully soon that will change (once the buttholes in charge realize how much money they can make off it, a la John Boehner).

Cold can actually make it worse. Not me, but my mother swears by these for her tendinitis.

What about cortisone cream?

Can you talk to your local pharmacist about an alternative/over the counter treatment? Someone who will know somewhat about your medical history, or possibly fax the doctor for a quick solution in the mean time?
I don't live in america so I don't know how medicine works there, so maybe just a topical numbing cream, or wrap/brace to relieve some tension throughout the day?

Over the counter cortisone creams in the U.S. aren't at a dosage strength that would make a significant difference, to be honest. They're meant to treat stuff like mosquito bites. Topical numbing creams would probably just numb the skin, which isn't the problem here.

Philstar is really best off asking her doctor, not the internet.

Very true, I know next to nothing about Philstar's condition, I was only hoping my suggestions could help.
Which was why I mentioned going to see a regular pharmacist? If their doctor is unavailable, then another professional might be able to find something in the mean time.
