I spent this past winter in physical therapy for my trochanteric bursitis, complicated with ileal band dysfunction and an SI joint that is nothing but cranky (and hypermobile).
The hip is a tricky balance in terms of rehabilitation, yes. I have found that even now, with it 95% under control, I can experience blinding pain around the top of my knee. That is a huge signal for me that my SI joint is in the wrong place and needs to be put back where it belongs.
I'll raise a toast to the cortisone shot. It put the fire out in my hip right quick so that I could get on with the rehab.
