Tramadol is what you want.
It won't stop the pain "per se", but once they kick in you won't give a toss regardless.

if you and the wife need anything let me know mate 

Thanks for that offer martin 

did they give you cortisone ?

Original diagnosis was bursitis and was given cortisone in right hip " wrong diagnosis" so went through that for nothing , jeez does that hurt 

Funny, usually the first line of treatment for bursitis is complete rest and that's before the proper diagnosis in the first place.  The pain associated with bursitis is very different from anything else and is characterised by intense pain when removing weight from the joint, rather than when weight or strain is applied.

I wasnt told to rest at all , just straight in and jabbed in the hip bone before any xray or mri
  diagnosis wasnt till after a second mri

As someone in the medical field I would be concerned about that being used as the first line of treatment for bursitis due to the complications that can arise and the pain it causes the patient.  You may wish to consider a different consultant (lets put it this way if someone had put me through that kind of pain for no reason he and I would be having a 'chat' in a dark alleyway)

Im not kidding you , ive had cortisone in the elbows and it was nothing compared to the pain i went through with the one in the hip  wondering if this has caused more problems now you mention it but seems most of my problems are back related now

Its only pain. It goes away. Eventually.
