Eating a MediterAsian diet, no sugar or processed foods and Physio has been a major factor in reducing my hip bursitis inflammation. I’ve also lost weight and have increased energy from this way of eating. I can now go to the gym and exercise for an hour. Life changing
This is such helpful information for me. I am a 41 year old woman who has been suffering from the symptoms described here. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Great video, just found out this is my issue that I've had for over 7 years that none of my prior doctor's could find. I'm grateful for my doctor now that has helped me. This video was very helpful and informative, thank you
I used to be plagued with hip bursitis. Couldn't walk, couldn't function. Then a PHYSIATRIST diagnosed SI joint dysfunction. Cortisone in my SI joints every 18 months or so has been a total game changer for me. It keeps me walking!
Yes, you answered everything I had thought about . I’ve had a complete anterior hip replacement and now have bursitis pain and this really helped . I’m going to see a hip specialist tomorrow! Thank you !
Hey guys! I’m a runner and I have trochanteral bursitis. This video was so helpful and informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Best video I’ve found on this topic. Thank you for this video. Clear and concise without being dumbed down...and not so technical it needs a medical degree to understand.
Hi brightpurpleviking. Thanks for the positive feedback. We are doing our best to get the info out in a practical and useful way. Good luck with your bursitis. It can be difficult and last awhile but it usually does go away. Thanks for watching.
Four years later, I'm seeing this first watch. For years my L hip has a little catch in it with each leg raises exercise, and if I do a different warmup (like sitting frog kicks) the next day pain is a clear signal not to do those. Now I know why. Time heals; and Excellence is timeless. Thank You Gentlemen.
Great stuff. Been dealing with hip bursitis for years with several "para docs" (GP, Chiropractoers), but this video is the best short and comprehensive explanation/advice I've found. Stretch, stretch, strengthen, stretch...and keep at it.
Thank you soooo much! You clarified so many questions. My biggest concern with my hip bursitis is my artificial hip, which I've had for 6 years, has been so successful and given me back my life! I'm 5 weeks in doing oral anti-inflam, two weeks doing stretching - it's 50% better since doing stretching. I'm seeing my ortho guy this week. Thanks again!
Hi Tootsla. Glad we could help. Bursitis in the setting of a total hip replacement is not uncommon. Keep doing what you are doing and hopefully your symptoms continue to disappear. Thanks for watching.
Thank you guys, you are brilliant. I'm from Australia, thank you so much. I'm 54 and I pretty much remember when this happend to me. I had a big night and just slept on one side all night on a hard surface, and basically haven't been the same since. Had scans, X-Ray's, and I've got bursitis, and it is so frickin' painful. The thing is I'm fine standing up, walking around, but when I sit or lie down that's when I feel it the most, I take heavy painkillers to go to sleep.
Hi combivan. Thanks for the positive feedback. Best option is physio and anti-inflammatories. Last option is an injection. And avoiding aggravating activities. Good luck
Wow, thanks for replying, wasn't expecting that! Anyway, went to the physio this week and guess what? They have me doing certain stretches for about half an hour everyday. It's only early days though. But it hasn't got any worse and it does seem somewhat better even in this short space of time.Everyone tends towards the holistic approach these days, no drugs. Anyway, don't have to pay a cent for my first five visits, how good is that? We have that, I don't know what you guys call it (cause you don't have it) "Universal Healthcare" we call it Medicare. Every citizen is looked after, no matter your status.
Outstanding explanations! They provide great direction and hope to deal with this painful issue. We appreciate you taking the time to educate the public
Thankyou so much Drs this was so informative and as a 57 year old woman who has had a hip replacement and is suffering from hip bursitis, you answered many questions for me.
Liked the frank back and forth sharing of experience. I look this up because I’ve got bursitis. This morning I thought I had bone cancer it was so painful. Anyway thanks guys I’m treating mine with anti-inflammatories and stretching. If I don’t experience some relief soon I’m going to seek a Cortizone injection.
I had to discontinue eating gluten, side effect...my hip pain went away, i was shocked. Some pain has returned, think it’s related to my accidentally eating something that had gluten...love the information in this video, now subscribed because my main dr is an ortho...to give insight to my usual medical needs ☹️
I was in the emergency room for bursitis yesterday, the pain was unbelievable, first time saw these two doctors excellent, going for cortisone tomorrow
This old video just popped up, as I’ve been desperately searching the internet for ways to eliminate hip pain caused by a fall seven months ago. I was getting depressed at how long it’s taking to heal (I’m 66, so I’m sure age is a factor). But hearing you say it could take 12 to 18 months to recover made me feel better. There’s an end game! I will continue to do PT (God, I hate split squats!) and remind myself daily that I will get better. Thanks for the insights and cause for hope. Oh, and a bedside manner tip I learned from my doctor that you may not be aware of; when you’re looking at a patient’s ultrasound and the patient is sitting right next to you but they’re not looking at the monitor because in tv shows this is where everything goes wrong, never blurt out, “Whoa, look at this! You fell hard!” That doesn’t really help. Thanks for this video.
I have had Trochanteric hip bursitis for 3 years after a fall. The pain has lessened over time but definitely still there. I still occasionally need painkillers to get through the day. I am now 65.
Having disabling pain for 8 months, limping, started to just sit and do nothing so I finally got cortisone injection last week. What a relief! It took outer pain away going down to my knee but all it was affecting my lower back, that is also better. I am hyper mobile as well and my hips "snap" all the time. Still not sure what started it. MRI shows bilateral trochanteric bursitis. I feel like a new women with pain relief and have started doing proper exercises for happy bursa! Thanks for the great video.
Thank you - very informative ! Great video!! I had a right hip revision and developed bursitis. Most important is doing your stretches and exercises.it is been hard to find what exercises and stretches to do for bursitis when you've had a hip replacement. Went to therapy and it definitely helped! you don't realize how common it is until you get to that age!!
Hi Kareri. You are very welcome and so glad we could help. Yes hip surgery does sometimes result in hip bursitis and you nailed it - do your exercises. Best of luck to you going forward. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
Thanks for explaining when surgery is helpful (arthritis) and isn't (bursitis). The hip joint is large and intricate. It's not easy for us laypeople to visualize the joint and its various components and the effect hip replacement surgery would have.
STRETCH! STRETCH! STRETCH ! Learn the different ways you can stretch for hip Bursitis, this is better than any medication and it works ! But it does take time .
Lisa Gonzalez: I took a bad fall a month ago and my knees broke the fall. In my later years my knees have given me problems, coming from the days when I use to lift weights. I have had cortisone shots to my knees, which helped greatly and also once to my hips, the effects which didn't last that long. So after the fall the knees got better, but I guess from over compensating to keep my knees from hurting, the hips and the ball joint are now causing me really bad pain. I can hardly walk at home without having to hold on to the countertops and furniture. My NSAIDS have not helped any. So, now I'm considering a cortisone(s) shot again, but I've been putting it off. I too have heard that stretching helps. So, are there any specific exercises on RUclips that I could do to help alleviate the pain? I would truly appreciate some guidance! Thank you. -EB
@@pelucitadered yes ,there are lots of video exercises on stretching (just type in stretches for hip Bursitis) and icing the hip area helps with the inflammation as well .Do these every day, maybe twice a day if you can , but be patient it does work .( Ibuprofen too)
Thanks for such an informative video. I know I definitely have bursitis of the hip now. I'm 52 yrs old and up til a year ago was able to pop my hips, both sides. I cracked my knuckles and almost every other joint in my body... Starting to feel trouble in a few fingers lately as well. I'm going to follow your advice and hopefully in a few days feel well enough to do some stretching and strengthening excersises. You guys are great 👍!
Thank you. You have answered so many of my questions. I’m waiting to get into my orthopedic doctor after many avenues of getting referral. I’m in pain 24/7 for the past 6 weeks. I have a pt referral & hopefully the doctor can inject me with cortisone. Keep doing these informative videos. Thank you
Got a cortisone injection yesterday in my hip. I was so surprised how quickly the pain disappeared. I still "feel" the sensation of discomfort, but no pain. I've had the pain for years but it's gotten worse the last year since I started my new job. Tried everything, physiotherapy, stretching, changing shoes, thinking how my posture is, how I walk - nothing helped. So I'm so thankful for the injection if it works long term with exercise. I'm not even 25 years old so it's very demotivating to have that much pain.
Hi Elonkoism. Glad to hear the injection worked. Be sure to work on stretching and strengthening now that you have less pain or it will likely come back. Good luck.
I was told u can only have a certain amount of cortisone injection in any spot before it weakens it.. so I keep it for later. Though the pain from hip to knee is always there.. I am afraid to either : over stretch or walk too much.. 4 years since my fall & just got inflammed again by wearing too tight a 'tool belt' over my hip
I had a cortisone injection and how wonderful it was to feel no pain..didn't last but a few hours though. I also had a few shock wave treatments which didn't help. I have given up and will have to live with the discomfort.
It sounds like I am one of the few people who had surgery to remove the bursas from both greater trochanters. I did this because nothing else worked. The surgery was painful but it did help. About two years after my bursas were removed, I had both hips replaced. I hope this info may help someone where shots and meds don't help.
I've not presented as a "hip' to an ortho nurse practitioner, a PT or ortho PA. No hip involvement was suspected despite my age (73) and my obesity. They took a side view that caught more of my lower spine that only showed slight anterior slippage in the L4-L5. Since I had NO symptoms in my lower legs they just were stumped.However, when they took a front view x-ray of my hip they saw...and I saw...serious arthritis bilaterally. However, I have no signs of a hip problem. The doctors will not do a replacement...which I neither want or think I need...due to my weight, age and comorbidities. However...that is all they are focused on now---my hip. Your video was SUCH a gift to me. I can touch the pain with one finger...right over the trochanter. It radiates down the back of my thigh, across where the thigh and the buttocks connect and, on really bad days, across the top of my thigh in a downward angle...not towards the groin. And hearing how long it can take to heal, oddly, was a comfort to me. Everything I've read said 2-3 weeks. I was getting very discouraged. That helped tremendously. My PT had me biking...bad choice. I continue with as much movement as I can and I'm slowly losing weight the healthy way. That was a very, very long way of saying a GIANT Thank You to you both!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your videos! I have particular interest in this one as I developed severe hip pains in the last four weeks. I had an x Ray and ultra sound. My GP said I have marked hip arthritis, but that the pain is most likely from Bursitis. That may be right, but there has been no pain or soreness in touching or pressing my hip and hip bone. No reddening or extra warm areas. The (severe) pain felt to me to be more internal. After my pressing him, my GP has reluctantly given me a referral to a Rheumatologist. The pain has lessened with less movement and pain relief. I have encountered this reluctance by GPs to refer to a specialist previously. It always seems a little unprofessional to me. More about their needs than mine!thanks again for your excellent videos. I have not seen anything quite like them before!
Glad to hear it J. Sounds like it may be more arthritic and you may need to see an orthopedic surgeon rather than a rheumatologist but that's a start. All the best. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
I got hip bursitis 3 mo post op hip replacement. It scared me because I thought my pain was related to the hip replacement. Very relieved to have bursitis and it responded to PT and anti inflammatory Tx within two weeks. Just another bump in the road and an after- age 50 check engine light that came on. 😊 Thanks for all the info you’re sharing.
Thank you. I have an appointment today with a hip and knee orthopedic surgeon today. Good to have your perspective on this and at least have the peace of mind in the knowledge that there are much worse things out there. Regular stretching and exercise are the key.
I have been unlucky to have this and you have clarified how long the process is.cycling up hill it seems sent my hip in to trauma and now I can hardly walk or work. My physio says exactly what u have and I’m hoping my exercises prolong the pain till I can get an injection
Hi Billy. Yes stretch those soft tissues out to reduce the contact and the pain. Medications and topicals are a good start before the injection. Good luck and thanks for watching.
I had a fall 7 years ago. I fell hard on my left hip. I’ve had hip pain ever since. I’ve had an MRI confirming trochanteric bursitis with tendonitis. Atrophied glutes. I’ve had Naproxin with stomach protection combo. Works until I stop taking 2 weeks 2x daily then pain returns. There is swelling around my hip that has never left me. I’ve had cortisone shots, Physio which I was totally dedicated to for 8 weeks 2x daily. I’ve tried acupuncture, massage. Athletic therapist, Chiropractor. I’m exhausted from the chronic pain, new mattress as well. I’ve tried everything could there be something I am missing.
I'm a fit 58 year old female and mt GP told me this morning I have greater trochanteric pain syndrome. My hip has been painful for months - can't lie on it, walking up or down steep hills aggrevated it. The GP has told me to think about the steriod injection but if I don't want to go through that I can contiinue taking the anti inflammatory tablets. Thank you Doctors for this information, I am now informed.
Thanks Docs. You answered all the questions I had for my hip bursitis. I will wait for 18 months if I have too. I am doing my PT stuff every day. Thanks again
Moving into 2024, I was just diagnosed with right hip bursitis. I was told to take Tylenol 3x day, prescription topical cream, referral to hospital for injection. Like you said, X-rays showed minimal arthritis. The only issue will be the very long wait for hospital appointment. Walking doesn’t always hurt more so after an hour or two. Sometimes I’m in severe pain when I get in the house. I just want to sit quietly with a coffee and leg resting on ottoman.
The worst pain I ever felt. Next to giving birth! I just got an injection 💉. It worked out wonderfully. I had never heard of bursa or bursitis until I woke up in pain this weekend.
Omg! Excellent video thx I had a total hip Arthroplasty 6mon.ago and I think I'm experiencing hip T. Bursitis I'm very active walking about 4mi.daily up and down steps but I drove fr. Atlanta to New Jersey and back 14hrs each way and after the trip is when I really began to experience the pain in my hip. Will be making an appointment in the morning with my Orthopedic Dr.
Very informative video!! I've been dealing with bursitis in my right hip off and on now for a few years. I find it interesting that you talk about a clicking hip. I have always been able pop my hips in and out, more on the right though. It's more of something you can feel rather than hear. I used to do it a lot as a teenager because people got a kick out of it. How do you treat a clicking hip and could this be a reason why my hip seems to stay aggravated? I have hyper mobility in my hips, fingers, toes and spine.
Hi Melissa. The clicking is often related to the tight band snapping over your greater trochanter. It often has no specific solution however if you are able to stretch out the fascia sometimes the snapping will reduce. Hope that helps. And thanks for watching.
Yes, avoid surgery to remove the bursa at all costs. There are better ways to treat this as they state; physio therapy and anti inflammatory meds. It’s a fairly long road back though but you will get there. In my case I believe the bursa trouble occurred due to gluteal muscle weakness around the hip. Physio to strengthen can work wonders. Thanks for your helpful video guys
Thanks for sharing 449ste33. You are correct in that physio and pain control are the mainstays of treatment. Surgery is last resort. Thanks for watching.
Hi Shelley. So glad you enjoyed it. And good luck if you have hip bursitis. And good luck to the Patriots - however we think everyone would agree that they have won enough already.
I am 69 and did have a clicking right hip after doing a roundhouse kick in my late 30s. No problem until last summer when I was really pushing myself in many ways. Then over the course of a few days my hip bursa hurt to the point that there was no position I could get in without a stabbing pain. I ended up getting driven to a minute clinic while holding my right side off the seat and hobbled in with trekking poles and stayed standing to be seen. Steroids, muscle relaxants, stretching and a heat pad slowly got me back on my feet. After 10 months of daily stretching and exercise I am almost back to my old self but can still feel the bursa at times waiting for me to push it too far. It was a crippling experience.
I was just diagnosed today w hip bursitis and watching your video has helped me understand it all a lot more. I did get a cortisone shot n have therapy to do, but I’m 61 n had let it go for a few months… Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to make these videos! 😊
16 years of power yoga, restorative yoga, Anusara yoga…5-6 days a week and 40 lb. maintained weight loss. Then COVID hit and I am not self-motivated and had no real place where I could do yoga in my house. So I was walking 3-5 miles every day. I now have osteoarthritis of the hip and have done PT …definitely tight IT band and osteoarthritis in my back for decades that is now giving me sciatica! I am not even 60 … I am at my wits end as to what to do and am in so much pain. Planning for hip injection in January but now am wondering if I should do it. Celebrex has done so much more for me than Aleve… such a tough decision. I would get major hip problems through my yoga years…such a dilemma.
Hi Auggie. Sorry to hear this. It is really all about your pain when it comes to treatment. Meds and injections can help. Surgery is the last option. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My doctor told me last week that what I have had for years is bursitis. It hurts to run my finger down the side of my leg (lumpy under skin) and especially to press on actual bursa. I don't get groin pain or trouble getting off chairs etc but I don't sleep well. The pain wakes me. I sleep on the affected side and can't sleep on the other side due to impingement in spine that causes nerve pain in foot and charley horses on the unaffected side. I have bad reactions to cortisol. Memory foam on my bed made it worse. I have mild osteoporosis on affected side. I'm at a loss. I am losing weight through diet and I walk as much as I can but stenosis in low back and scheuermann's disease with all its' complications can be aggravated. Been in constant pain for 45 years.
Hi itsbittersweetest. Thanks for your kind comments. We are doing our best to share the information in a way that is useful for patients. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Mine is caused from a fall where I landed on my right knee. Which caused bursitis in my right hip. I was misgiagnosed for 7 months and just given pain killers for "muscle". I finally had an ultrasound and now have the right treatment. But it does take time.
Me too! And it’s killing me. I’ve changed my mattress and even put a foam topper on. It helps a little , but I’m a side sleeper so I’m turning a lot. I’ve been putting icy hot on both sides then put leggings on when I go to bed. That helps as well. Stretching morn and night helps too. And Motrin is my best friend! I hope it goes away soon😭😭
I was diagnosed with hip bursitis, but it didn’t hurt to touch or lay on that side. In fact laying on the opposite side to the pain is far worse. Also Walking after 15 mins I feel pain in that area if I keep walking it will become excruciating painful and hurt down side of leg to side of knee. The amazing thing is when I cycle it doesn’t hurt at all. I do 140klm a week and no pain. Have I been miss diagnosed? Could the problem be coming from lower back/ discs. I am 60 yrs not overweight. Exercises work to some extent in that I feel stronger but the pain doesn’t go away. There is some minor osteoarthritis in lower back.
I’ve had it on and off for 20 years… lately it’s been on for months. My doc took me off of anti inflammatory meds. I feel close to disabled… it’s been very hard. Now my knee and ankles are in pain, as well.
This confirms it my VA Dr. Is correct I have bursitis & not arthritis or the rod & screw I have since 1990, pain started after doing flooring work earler in the year. just waiting to see a specialist now. I know I need a modified shoe to compensate for my shorter leg. This video answered a lot of questions I had!! Thank you!! 👍👍
Im in Australia im 66. Went to Dr and said I thought I had sciatica because my back and hip was painful and pain ran down side of leg and I couldn't lie on my side because of pain. She knew straight away it was bursitis. Ive had 2 injections and they were amazing and had no pain but now Im going to go to physio and see how I go. Im really confused about what exercises I can do.
I had both of my hips replaced, anterior approach, in 2022. Five months apart. I’m experiencing hip bursitis on my right side, the first hip replaced. Not happy. My surgeon prescribed meloxicam, 15mg. I also have physical therapy.
I shouldn’t be so quick to say it’s bursitis. It might be tendinitis. Right hip was replaced on April 13, 2022, anterior approach. The moment I woke from anesthesia I was in excruciating skyrocketing pain, crying and sobbing. I wound up in hospital 4 days and rehab 12 days due to poor pain management. Truly horrifying. Surgeon had one word for my case: Unique. I had my second hip replaced by a different surgeon and anesthesiologist on September 20, 2022. Easy peasy! The second anesthesiologist got permission to give me a nerve blocker and maybe that’s the difference that made the difference because my pain was minimal compared to the first experience. The second surgeon is taking over my entire case including the first hip. If physical therapy does not improve whatever is going on with the soft tissue of my right hip I will see the surgeon and go from there. I’m walking great but my endurance is not there because the right hip area starts to get inflamed and swollen and then my IT band tightens up. It really hurts. Hopefully, things will be resolved in time. I would like to add that I just turned 68 and otherwise in good health. Not on prescription medication for anything. No smoking, no alcohol, no recreational drugs. I gave up all my sugary junk food and desserts over a year ago. Sugar causes inflammation. I am a reformed sugar addict. I gradually lost over 30 pounds and I’d like to lose at least 10 more. Feeling good.
Thanks for that info, my pain management doctor didn't explain anything. I just got an injection for Trochanteric Bursitis, it help the pain a lot, but I still can't sleep on my right side. It's only been 4 days. I hear it take longer before it's completely better.
@@peaceandlove544 It had cortisone and something for pain, some of my pain came back again, left, and came back again, she called it Trochanteric Bursitis, I also have osteoporosis so they say. I really am starting to wonder about these dexa scans. I'm still nursing my leg pain on and off. It was a painful shot that she gave me.
I have a sit down job - 7 hours . All through my working week I get that burning uncomfortable pain on my left hip, weekends don't feel it. I have started stretches, get up for walks more often, and I am careful how I stand, say in the kitchen doing wash up I realised that I was putting weight on that one hip. I resist taking meds, so I looked at natural anti inflammatory foods, one is ginger, and fish oil.
@@martinfaleye8094 yes, the sit down at the desk is what brings the burning feeling, but only on my left hip socket, getting up every hour for a quick walk around helps .
I have hip pain that occurred after lifting weights, specifically deep squats with 160 lbs barbell across my shoulders/upper back. x-ray shows arthritis and MRI revealed iliopsoas bursitis and tendinitis as well as mild to severe arthritis. I do CrossFit workouts with a senior group. My doctor has given me two cortisone shots 7 weeks apart that helped against pain but each for only about 24-36 hours. I'll see my doctor in 5 more weeks. He has discussed gel shots and we've even talked about hip replacement down the line. Meanwhile, I'd love the pain in the bursa area to slow down a bit. It has persisted for three months and it is intense. I can live with taking it easy in workouts but walking, getting into and out of the car, and sleeping isn't going well. Is there a sunset on the pain I can reasonably expect or at 71 is this the end of golf and biking?
Hi Thomas. For The bursitis it often hangs around for awhile. Physio and anti inflammatories plus injections are the mainstay of treatment. Fingers crossed it will burn out. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Wish cardiologist understood the issues that can arise from frequent injections to relieve LDL treatment pain. It's just a natural go too as a fall back in conversation. I've seen the long-term affects that don't always turn out well after years. Thanks for sharing and being so frank.
Thank you. Excellent. I would add to the topical creams, etc., the stick-on pain patches. Wondrous relief. Find the one that is best for you. I prefer the Lidocaine and any Bio Freeze patches. Also stretches are key helpers.
Cortisone, is the only thing that works when it gets bad. It lasts for a a fair while, but always comes back. I did wonder about surgery for it, will put that out of my mind now.
Hi Rita. Glad you at least have something that provides some relief for you. Thanks for sharing your experience. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing if you did.
Dear talking with docs hi my name is Rachel and I have a bursa sac in the hip joint and a flat hip socket in the hip joint and I have alot of inflammation in the hip joint and I want to know what can I do for it to thanks for listening to me from Rachel Grant
Six months after a hip replacement I was diagnosed with bursitis. After an injection and three months it cleared up but seems to flare up after certain movements. Your lecture was extremely helpful, hopefully this will go away for good.
Im 67 and a right BKA (look it up!) My good leg, the left one finally just "gave up" from over use. Knee bursa inglamtion (bad but not horrid) and DEBILITATING outer hip bursa pain. Its crippling. Very little warning. I should have not strained that leg so much since my BKA in 2007. I plan on a : 30 lb weight loss goal, improved ergo movements of both my legs from now on. Just so I can WALK, I neeed a huuuge cortisone shot laced with lidocaine. My self treatment: Dramtic weioght loss, stretching, and hip aductor and abductor exercixes will prevent me having to live on cortisone injections.I may need afew until I rehab my hip IT band
Thanks docs you make very relatable and informative vids. I appreciate the information. Going for a THA June 22 and also have bursitis in same hip. Can’t take NSAIDs due to CKD stage 3. This makes pain tough to manage. Would like to know stretching that would help bursitis after THA. For sure I will bring it up with surgeon and see what I am allowed to do in PT. Already doing gluteal squeezes and the other 3 exercises from your other video to prepare for Surg. Thanks to you both.
Hi Docs, My name is Laura, I had a Labral tear in my right hip (from a fall at 43 in 2009) was diagnosed alongside the tear with hip dysplasia. Had a PeriAcetabular Osteotomy. 1-year post-surgery as a result of the reconstruction my pelvic broke in half, nonunion fracture of the Ischium and Pubis bones. 2 years to heal from that. All has left me with years of debilitating pain in my hips, I was diagnosed with hip bursitis, did therapy, massage, and Ibuprofin. Ibuprofin works, but when I stop taking it, the pain comes back. I worry about being on Ibuprofin indefinitely and the damage that could cause. Still the chronic pain, almost burning feeling in my muscles surrounding the area keeps me from being active. I used to be a distance cyclist and a kayak guide. These days I'm lucky if I can do a grocery run by myself. My surgeon did not want to do cortisone injections, he told me they probably would not work. I can relate to being positive I was bone on bone only to find out I still had plenty of cartilage in my hip. I have slowly stopped doing most activities now. I just can't find a solution out there for me, this has been going on for 8 years now. I did think getting hip replacements would finally fix this. Because of my dysplasia, I will need my hips replaced but just the thought of having bursitis even after the replacements is disheartening, to say the least. I am located in Michigan, if you know of a therapy that might work and I haven't tried, I would appreciate it greatly.
Hi Laura. So sorry to hear about the difficult path you have been on . Dysplasia can be tricky and with bursitis on top of that, it is a difficult problem. If you have groin pain, that typically means more of the pain is from the joint whereas if your pain is on the side, that is more likely to be bursitis. Two things that you may want to consider would be an intra-articular injection of cortisone or possibly hyaluronic acid which may help with groin pain. Sometimes injections for bursitis will also help but usually just cortisone. As well, you can try a topical preparation to reduce the inflammation and possibly reduce your need for advil. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.

Eating a MediterAsian diet, no sugar or processed foods and Physio has been a major factor in reducing my hip bursitis inflammation. I’ve also lost weight and have increased energy from this way of eating. I can now go to the gym and exercise for an hour. Life changing
This is such helpful information for me. I am a 41 year old woman who has been suffering from the symptoms described here. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Excellent video, thank you so much. Cleared up so many questions in my mind. This is real public service, thank you
Hi Madhuri. Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad we can help out in whatever way possible.
Great video, just found out this is my issue that I've had for over 7 years that none of my prior doctor's could find. I'm grateful for my doctor now that has helped me. This video was very helpful and informative, thank you
Hi Michelle. So glad we could help and that your 7 year journey has come to an end. Thanks for watching.
Hey how r u
I used to be plagued with hip bursitis. Couldn't walk, couldn't function. Then a PHYSIATRIST diagnosed SI joint dysfunction. Cortisone in my SI joints every 18 months or so has been a total game changer for me. It keeps me walking!
Thanks for sharing Esther
Very thorough video. You answered everything I would have asked my doctor and helped ease my mind. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Hi Kalliope. You are very welcome. Thanks for watching
Sleep with a pillow between your knees all the way down to your ankles. This will keep your legs in a neutral position.
Yes, you answered everything I had thought about . I’ve had a complete anterior hip replacement and now have bursitis pain and this really helped . I’m going to see a hip specialist tomorrow! Thank you !
@@pattykochenower4222
Is a hip specialist different than an orthopedic surgeon... I’m guessing so. What’s the difference and how are you doing?
Hey guys! I’m a runner and I have trochanteral bursitis. This video was so helpful and informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Glad we could help TiaSelections! Good luck with your bursitis and your running. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
Best video I’ve found on this topic. Thank you for this video. Clear and concise without being dumbed down...and not so technical it needs a medical degree to understand.
Hi brightpurpleviking. Thanks for the positive feedback. We are doing our best to get the info out in a practical and useful way. Good luck with your bursitis. It can be difficult and last awhile but it usually does go away. Thanks for watching.
I agree...Thanks!
@@luveesjewelryaccessories253 Hey how r u now did you recover fully from bursitis
This was the most helpful video on my hip pain questions, more than my own doc. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome Christine! Best of luck and thanks for watching
Hey how r u now
Did u recover from hip bursitis !? How long it took you to heal !? Can you share any tips plz
Four years later, I'm seeing this first watch. For years my L hip has a little catch in it with each leg raises exercise, and if I do a different warmup (like sitting frog kicks) the next day pain is a clear signal not to do those. Now I know why. Time heals; and Excellence is timeless. Thank You Gentlemen.
Very welcome Wyatt! Glad you are ok. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great stuff. Been dealing with hip bursitis for years with several "para docs" (GP, Chiropractoers), but this video is the best short and comprehensive explanation/advice I've found. Stretch, stretch, strengthen, stretch...and keep at it.
Hi D C. Thanks for the positive comments. We are doing our best to get in the info out there. Thanks for watching and good luck!
A doctor recently wrote that stretching was the worse thing to do, who knows.
Hey how r u now
Did you recover fully from bursitis !?
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's appreciated and helpful. I've been having this pain lately.
You are very welcome Diddys Mom. Thanks for watching.
Thank you soooo much! You clarified so many questions. My biggest concern with my hip bursitis is my artificial hip, which I've had for 6 years, has been so successful and given me back my life! I'm 5 weeks in doing oral anti-inflam, two weeks doing stretching - it's 50% better since doing stretching. I'm seeing my ortho guy this week. Thanks again!
Hi Tootsla. Glad we could help. Bursitis in the setting of a total hip replacement is not uncommon. Keep doing what you are doing and hopefully your symptoms continue to disappear. Thanks for watching.
Thank you guys, you are brilliant. I'm from Australia, thank you so much. I'm 54 and I pretty much remember when this happend to me. I had a big night and just slept on one side all night on a hard surface, and basically haven't been the same since. Had scans, X-Ray's, and I've got bursitis, and it is so frickin' painful. The thing is I'm fine standing up, walking around, but when I sit or lie down that's when I feel it the most, I take heavy painkillers to go to sleep.
Hi combivan. Thanks for the positive feedback. Best option is physio and anti-inflammatories. Last option is an injection. And avoiding aggravating activities. Good luck
Wow, thanks for replying, wasn't expecting that! Anyway, went to the physio this week and guess what? They have me doing certain stretches for about half an hour everyday. It's only early days though. But it hasn't got any worse and it does seem somewhat better even in this short space of time.Everyone tends towards the holistic approach these days, no drugs. Anyway, don't have to pay a cent for my first five visits, how good is that? We have that, I don't know what you guys call it (cause you don't have it) "Universal Healthcare" we call it Medicare. Every citizen is looked after, no matter your status.
Outstanding explanations! They provide great direction and hope to deal with this painful issue. We appreciate you taking the time to educate the public
Hi Liberty. Thanks so much. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Thankyou so much Drs this was so informative and as a 57 year old woman who has had a hip replacement and is suffering from hip bursitis, you answered many questions for me.

I would recommend a rheumatologist. GPs might have limited knowledge in this area.
I second that!
Liked the frank back and forth sharing of experience. I look this up because I’ve got bursitis. This morning I thought I had bone cancer it was so painful. Anyway thanks guys I’m treating mine with anti-inflammatories and stretching. If I don’t experience some relief soon I’m going to seek a Cortizone injection.

Hey how r u now did you recover fully from bursitis !?
I had to discontinue eating gluten, side effect...my hip pain went away, i was shocked.

Thank You do much for being here. I really REALLY needed this information.
So glad we could help Linda! Thanks for watching.
This old video just popped up, as I’ve been desperately searching the internet for ways to eliminate hip pain caused by a fall seven months ago. I was getting depressed at how long it’s taking to heal (I’m 66, so I’m sure age is a factor). But hearing you say it could take 12 to 18 months to recover made me feel better. There’s an end game! I will continue to do PT (God, I hate split squats!) and remind myself daily that I will get better. Thanks for the insights and cause for hope. Oh, and a bedside manner tip I learned from my doctor that you may not be aware of; when you’re looking at a patient’s ultrasound and the patient is sitting right next to you but they’re not looking at the monitor because in tv shows this is where everything goes wrong, never blurt out, “Whoa, look at this! You fell hard!” That doesn’t really help. Thanks for this video.
Good advice. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I have had Trochanteric hip bursitis for 3 years after a fall. The pain has lessened over time but definitely still there. I still occasionally need painkillers to get through the day. I am now 65.
Having disabling pain for 8 months, limping, started to just sit and do nothing so I finally got cortisone injection last week. What a relief! It took outer pain away going down to my knee but all it was affecting my lower back, that is also better. I am hyper mobile as well and my hips "snap" all the time. Still not sure what started it. MRI shows bilateral trochanteric bursitis. I feel like a new women with pain relief and have started doing proper exercises for happy bursa! Thanks for the great video.
Make sure you keep up the exercises. Glad you are ok now. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I asked this physical medicine guy about the shots. And he wasn't very enthusiastic about it. But this id for for you?
@@sheryl318 - Yes, huge difference. It is now about a year later and I will need another one soon.
Thank you - very informative ! Great video!! I had a right hip revision and developed bursitis. Most important is doing your stretches and exercises.it is been hard to find what exercises and stretches to do for bursitis when you've had a hip replacement. Went to therapy and it definitely helped! you don't realize how common it is until you get to that age!!
Hi Kareri. You are very welcome and so glad we could help. Yes hip surgery does sometimes result in hip bursitis and you nailed it - do your exercises. Best of luck to you going forward. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
Thanks for explaining when surgery is helpful (arthritis) and isn't (bursitis). The hip joint is large and intricate. It's not easy for us laypeople to visualize the joint and its various components and the effect hip replacement surgery would have.
Very welcome Rebecca. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
STRETCH! STRETCH! STRETCH ! Learn the different ways you can stretch for hip Bursitis, this is better than any medication and it works ! But it does take time .
Hi Lisa. We would agree. The key is to loosen up the lateral soft tissues so they rub less on the prominent greater trochanter. Thanks for watching.
@@TalkingWithDocs your welcome !!
I'm 50% better since I started the hip stretch exercises.
Lisa Gonzalez: I took a bad fall a month ago and my knees broke the fall. In my later years my knees have given me problems, coming from the days when I use to lift weights. I have had cortisone shots to my knees, which helped greatly and also once to my hips, the effects which didn't last that long. So after the fall the knees got better, but I guess from over compensating to keep my knees from hurting, the hips and the ball joint are now causing me really bad pain. I can hardly walk at home without having to hold on to the countertops and furniture. My NSAIDS have not helped any. So, now I'm considering a cortisone(s) shot again, but I've been putting it off. I too have heard that stretching helps. So, are there any specific exercises on RUclips that I could do to help alleviate the pain? I would truly appreciate some guidance! Thank you. -EB
@@pelucitadered yes ,there are lots of video exercises on stretching (just type in stretches for hip Bursitis) and icing the hip area helps with the inflammation as well .Do these every day, maybe twice a day if you can , but be patient it does work .( Ibuprofen too)
Thanks for such an informative video. I know I definitely have bursitis of the hip now. I'm 52 yrs old and up til a year ago was able to pop my hips, both sides. I cracked my knuckles and almost every other joint in my body... Starting to feel trouble in a few fingers lately as well. I'm going to follow your advice and hopefully in a few days feel well enough to do some stretching and strengthening excersises. You guys are great 👍!
Hi MsMasciarelli. So glad that we could help in any way. Thanks for the kind words. Best of luck to you and thanks for watching.
Thank you. You have answered so many of my questions. I’m waiting to get into my orthopedic doctor after many avenues of getting referral. I’m in pain 24/7 for the past 6 weeks. I have a pt referral & hopefully the doctor can inject me with cortisone. Keep doing these informative videos. Thank you
ditto
Got a cortisone injection yesterday in my hip. I was so surprised how quickly the pain disappeared. I still "feel" the sensation of discomfort, but no pain. I've had the pain for years but it's gotten worse the last year since I started my new job. Tried everything, physiotherapy, stretching, changing shoes, thinking how my posture is, how I walk - nothing helped. So I'm so thankful for the injection if it works long term with exercise. I'm not even 25 years old so it's very demotivating to have that much pain.
Hi Elonkoism. Glad to hear the injection worked. Be sure to work on stretching and strengthening now that you have less pain or it will likely come back. Good luck.
So sorry you have to go through this i also am suffering with this condition on my right hips the pain is so much worse than child birth.
I had same experience
I was told u can only have a certain amount of cortisone injection in any spot before it weakens it.. so I keep it for later. Though the pain from hip to knee is always there.. I am afraid to either : over stretch or walk too much.. 4 years since my fall & just got inflammed again by wearing too tight a 'tool belt' over my hip
I had a cortisone injection and how wonderful it was to feel no pain..didn't last but a few hours though. I also had a few shock wave treatments which didn't help. I have given up and will have to live with the discomfort.
This is such a great format. Really interesting and helpful. Thank you.
Thanks!
It sounds like I am one of the few people who had surgery to remove the bursas from both greater trochanters. I did this because nothing else worked. The surgery was painful but it did help. About two years after my bursas were removed, I had both hips replaced. I hope this info may help someone where shots and meds don't help.
Thank you so much for sharing Jesse. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
I've not presented as a "hip' to an ortho nurse practitioner, a PT or ortho PA. No hip involvement was suspected despite my age (73) and my obesity. They took a side view that caught more of my lower spine that only showed slight anterior slippage in the L4-L5. Since I had NO symptoms in my lower legs they just were stumped.However, when they took a front view x-ray of my hip they saw...and I saw...serious arthritis bilaterally. However, I have no signs of a hip problem. The doctors will not do a replacement...which I neither want or think I need...due to my weight, age and comorbidities. However...that is all they are focused on now---my hip.
Your video was SUCH a gift to me. I can touch the pain with one finger...right over the trochanter. It radiates down the back of my thigh, across where the thigh and the buttocks connect and, on really bad days, across the top of my thigh in a downward angle...not towards the groin. And hearing how long it can take to heal, oddly, was a comfort to me. Everything I've read said 2-3 weeks. I was getting very discouraged. That helped tremendously. My PT had me biking...bad choice. I continue with as much movement as I can and I'm slowly losing weight the healthy way. That was a very, very long way of saying a GIANT Thank You to you both!!!!!!!!
You are very welcome Verne! Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you for your videos! I have particular interest in this one as I developed severe hip pains in the last four weeks. I had an x Ray and ultra sound. My GP said I have marked hip arthritis, but that the pain is most likely from Bursitis. That may be right, but there has been no pain or soreness in touching or pressing my hip and hip bone. No reddening or extra warm areas. The (severe) pain felt to me to be more internal.
After my pressing him, my GP has reluctantly given me a referral to a Rheumatologist. The pain has lessened with less movement and pain relief.
I have encountered this reluctance by GPs to refer to a specialist previously. It always seems a little unprofessional to me. More about their needs than mine!thanks again for your excellent videos. I have not seen anything quite like them before!
Glad to hear it J. Sounds like it may be more arthritic and you may need to see an orthopedic surgeon rather than a rheumatologist but that's a start. All the best. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
I got hip bursitis 3 mo post op hip replacement. It scared me because I thought my pain was related to the hip replacement. Very relieved to have bursitis and it responded to PT and anti inflammatory Tx within two weeks. Just another bump in the road and an after- age 50 check engine light that came on. 😊 Thanks for all the info you’re sharing.
Glad it got better RT. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you. I have an appointment today with a hip and knee orthopedic surgeon today. Good to have your perspective on this and at least have the peace of mind in the knowledge that there are much worse things out there. Regular stretching and exercise are the key.
Good luck today Richard
I have been unlucky to have this and you have clarified how long the process is.cycling up hill it seems sent my hip in to trauma and now I can hardly walk or work. My physio says exactly what u have and I’m hoping my exercises prolong the pain till I can get an injection
Hi Billy. Yes stretch those soft tissues out to reduce the contact and the pain. Medications and topicals are a good start before the injection. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Hey Billy
How are you now? Any improvement !?
Are you able to cycle again!?
I had a fall 7 years ago. I fell hard on my left hip. I’ve had hip pain ever since. I’ve had an MRI confirming trochanteric bursitis with tendonitis. Atrophied glutes. I’ve had Naproxin with stomach protection combo. Works until I stop taking 2 weeks 2x daily then pain returns. There is swelling around my hip that has never left me. I’ve had cortisone shots, Physio which I was totally dedicated to for 8 weeks 2x daily. I’ve tried acupuncture, massage. Athletic therapist, Chiropractor. I’m exhausted from the chronic pain, new mattress as well. I’ve tried everything could there be something I am missing.
Hard to say Donna. Often physio and injections can help. But it doesn’t work for everyone and in some it persists. Hope it gets better

Hey how r u now did you recover fully from bursitis
I'm a fit 58 year old female and mt GP told me this morning I have greater trochanteric pain syndrome. My hip has been painful for months - can't lie on it, walking up or down steep hills aggrevated it. The GP has told me to think about the steriod injection but if I don't want to go through that I can contiinue taking the anti inflammatory tablets. Thank you Doctors for this information, I am now informed.
Yes you are!
Hey how r u now
Thanks Docs. You answered all the questions I had for my hip bursitis. I will wait for 18 months if I have too. I am doing my PT stuff every day. Thanks again
Moving into 2024, I was just diagnosed with right hip bursitis. I was told to take Tylenol 3x day, prescription topical cream, referral to hospital for injection. Like you said, X-rays showed minimal arthritis. The only issue will be the very long wait for hospital appointment. Walking doesn’t always hurt more so after an hour or two. Sometimes I’m in severe pain when I get in the house. I just want to sit quietly with a coffee and leg resting on ottoman.
The worst pain I ever felt. Next to giving birth! I just got an injection 💉. It worked out wonderfully. I had never heard of bursa or bursitis until I woke up in pain this weekend.
I had a injection, lasted a few hours...
thank you, i am learning for exercises as you said you get out what you put in . i am slowing seeing results😊 again thank you

Very informative video!! I've been dealing with bursitis in my right hip off and on now for a few years. I find it interesting that you talk about a clicking hip. I have always been able pop my hips in and out, more on the right though. It's more of something you can feel rather than hear. I used to do it a lot as a teenager because people got a kick out of it. How do you treat a clicking hip and could this be a reason why my hip seems to stay aggravated? I have hyper mobility in my hips, fingers, toes and spine.
Hi Melissa. The clicking is often related to the tight band snapping over your greater trochanter. It often has no specific solution however if you are able to stretch out the fascia sometimes the snapping will reduce. Hope that helps. And thanks for watching.
Yes, avoid surgery to remove the bursa at all costs. There are better ways to treat this as they state; physio therapy and anti inflammatory meds.
It’s a fairly long road back though but you will get there.
In my case I believe the bursa trouble occurred due to gluteal muscle weakness around the hip. Physio to strengthen can work wonders. Thanks for your helpful video guys
Thanks for sharing 449ste33. You are correct in that physio and pain control are the mainstays of treatment. Surgery is last resort. Thanks for watching.

I am 69 and did have a clicking right hip after doing a roundhouse kick in my late 30s. No problem until last summer when I was really pushing myself in many ways. Then over the course of a few days my hip bursa hurt to the point that there was no position I could get in without a stabbing pain. I ended up getting driven to a minute clinic while holding my right side off the seat and hobbled in with trekking poles and stayed standing to be seen. Steroids, muscle relaxants, stretching and a heat pad slowly got me back on my feet. After 10 months of daily stretching and exercise I am almost back to my old self but can still feel the bursa at times waiting for me to push it too far. It was a crippling experience.
I was just diagnosed today w hip bursitis and watching your video has helped me understand it all a lot more. I did get a cortisone shot n have therapy to do, but I’m 61 n had let it go for a few months… Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to make these videos! 😊

Hey how r u now did you recover from bursitis !?
16 years of power yoga, restorative yoga, Anusara yoga…5-6 days a week and 40 lb. maintained weight loss. Then COVID hit and I am not self-motivated and had no real place where I could do yoga in my house. So I was walking 3-5 miles every day. I now have osteoarthritis of the hip and have done PT …definitely tight IT band and osteoarthritis in my back for decades that is now giving me sciatica! I am not even 60 … I am at my wits end as to what to do and am in so much pain. Planning for hip injection in January but now am wondering if I should do it. Celebrex has done so much more for me than Aleve… such a tough decision. I would get major hip problems through my yoga years…such a dilemma.

Hey how r u now
My doctor told me last week that what I have had for years is bursitis. It hurts to run my finger down the side of my leg (lumpy under skin) and especially to press on actual bursa. I don't get groin pain or trouble getting off chairs etc but I don't sleep well. The pain wakes me. I sleep on the affected side and can't sleep on the other side due to impingement in spine that causes nerve pain in foot and charley horses on the unaffected side. I have bad reactions to cortisol. Memory foam on my bed made it worse. I have mild osteoporosis on affected side. I'm at a loss. I am losing weight through diet and I walk as much as I can but stenosis in low back and scheuermann's disease with all its' complications can be aggravated. Been in constant pain for 45 years.

Thanks for watching priscilla. Yes it can be very painful. Good luck.
Me too! And it’s killing me. I’ve changed my mattress and even put a foam topper on. It helps a little , but I’m a side sleeper so I’m turning a lot. I’ve been putting icy hot on both sides then put leggings on when I go to bed. That helps as well. Stretching morn and night helps too. And Motrin is my best friend! I hope it goes away soon😭😭
idinlv Vegas Use an ice pack! Really helps, particularly if the bursa is swollen.
@@idinlvvegas5528 how r u now
I was diagnosed with hip bursitis, but it didn’t hurt to touch or lay on that side. In fact laying on the opposite side to the pain is far worse. Also
Walking after 15 mins I feel pain in that area if I keep walking it will become excruciating painful and hurt down side of leg to side of knee. The amazing thing is when I cycle it doesn’t hurt at all. I do 140klm a week and no pain. Have I been miss diagnosed? Could the problem be coming from lower back/ discs. I am 60 yrs not overweight. Exercises work to some extent in that I feel stronger but the pain doesn’t go away. There is some minor osteoarthritis in lower back.
I’ve had it on and off for 20 years… lately it’s been on for months. My doc took me off of anti inflammatory meds. I feel close to disabled… it’s been very hard. Now my knee and ankles are in pain, as well.
It can be brutal Joe. Physio and meds usually. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Went to Dr and said I thought I had sciatica because my back and hip was painful and pain ran down side of leg and I couldn't lie on my side because of pain. She knew straight away it was bursitis.
Ive had 2 injections and they were amazing and had no pain but now Im going to go to physio and see how I go.
Im really confused about what exercises I can do.

Very welcome Shaun. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I had both of my hips replaced, anterior approach, in 2022. Five months apart. I’m experiencing hip bursitis on my right side, the first hip replaced. Not happy. My surgeon prescribed meloxicam, 15mg. I also have physical therapy.
Hope it helps susan.
I shouldn’t be so quick to say it’s bursitis. It might be tendinitis. Right hip was replaced on April 13, 2022, anterior approach. The moment I woke from anesthesia I was in excruciating skyrocketing pain, crying and sobbing. I wound up in hospital 4 days and rehab 12 days due to poor pain management. Truly horrifying. Surgeon had one word for my case: Unique. I had my second hip replaced by a different surgeon and anesthesiologist on September 20, 2022. Easy peasy! The second anesthesiologist got permission to give me a nerve blocker and maybe that’s the difference that made the difference because my pain was minimal compared to the first experience. The second surgeon is taking over my entire case including the first hip. If physical therapy does not improve whatever is going on with the soft tissue of my right hip I will see the surgeon and go from there. I’m walking great but my endurance is not there because the right hip area starts to get inflamed and swollen and then my IT band tightens up. It really hurts. Hopefully, things will be resolved in time. I would like to add that I just turned 68 and otherwise in good health. Not on prescription medication for anything. No smoking, no alcohol, no recreational drugs. I gave up all my sugary junk food and desserts over a year ago. Sugar causes inflammation. I am a reformed sugar addict. I gradually lost over 30 pounds and I’d like to lose at least 10 more. Feeling good.
Thank you, great information. I have read to ice the area. Do you have a diagram of where exactly to place the cold on your hip bursitis?
No, sorry. On the most prominent part on the side of your hip.
Please can you advice how soon can you return to reformer Pilates after a cortisone injection for hip bursitis

Thanks for that info, my pain management doctor didn't explain anything. I just got an injection for Trochanteric Bursitis, it help the pain a lot, but I still can't sleep on my right side. It's only been 4 days. I hear it take longer before it's completely better.
That was just for pain not cortisone
@@peaceandlove544 It had cortisone and something for pain, some of my pain came back again, left, and came back again, she called it Trochanteric Bursitis, I also have osteoporosis so they say. I really am starting to wonder about these dexa scans. I'm still nursing my leg pain on and off. It was a painful shot that she gave me.

I have started stretches, get up for walks more often, and I am careful how I stand, say in the kitchen doing wash up I realised that I was putting weight on that one hip. I resist taking meds, so I looked at natural anti inflammatory foods, one is ginger, and fish oil.
Thanks for sharing your experience Frenchie 11. Sounds like you have a solid plan. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
Has it helped
@@martinfaleye8094 yes, the sit down at the desk is what brings the burning feeling, but only on my left hip socket, getting up every hour for a quick walk around helps .
How are you now
I have hip pain that occurred after lifting weights, specifically deep squats with 160 lbs barbell across my shoulders/upper back. x-ray shows arthritis and MRI revealed iliopsoas bursitis and tendinitis as well as mild to severe arthritis. I do CrossFit workouts with a senior group. My doctor has given me two cortisone shots 7 weeks apart that helped against pain but each for only about 24-36 hours. I'll see my doctor in 5 more weeks. He has discussed gel shots and we've even talked about hip replacement down the line. Meanwhile, I'd love the pain in the bursa area to slow down a bit. It has persisted for three months and it is intense. I can live with taking it easy in workouts but walking, getting into and out of the car, and sleeping isn't going well. Is there a sunset on the pain I can reasonably expect or at 71 is this the end of golf and biking?
Hi Thomas. For
The bursitis it often hangs around for awhile. Physio and anti inflammatories plus injections are the mainstay of treatment. Fingers crossed it will burn out. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hey Thomas how r you now
Any improvement
Wish cardiologist understood the issues that can arise from frequent injections to relieve LDL treatment pain. It's just a natural go too as a fall back in conversation.
I've seen the long-term affects that don't always turn out well after years.
Thanks for sharing and being so frank.
You are very welcome Pj. Thanks for watching and subscribing
What stretches are recommend for hip bursitis?
I've had 4 cortisol injections that didn't help.
Yes it can be refractory for sure Linda. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I started getting this 6 years ago on my photoshoot. Does it cause muscle spasms and anxiety as well?
Thank you. Excellent. I would add to the topical creams, etc., the stick-on pain patches. Wondrous relief. Find the one that is best for you. I prefer the Lidocaine and any Bio Freeze patches.
Also stretches are key helpers.
Great advice, Susan
So incredibly helpful, thank you!
Hi shoelover6. You are very welcome. So glad we could help. Best of luck going forward and thanks for watching!
Cortisone, is the only thing that works when it gets bad. It lasts for a a fair while, but always comes back. I did wonder about surgery for it, will put that out of my mind now.
Hi Rita. Glad you at least have something that provides some relief for you. Thanks for sharing your experience. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing if you did.
Dear talking with docs hi my name is Rachel and I have a bursa sac in the hip joint and a flat hip socket in the hip joint and I have alot of inflammation in the hip joint and I want to know what can I do for it to thanks for listening to me from Rachel Grant
Hi Rachel. So usually Physio and NSAIDS if you are allowed to take them. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Six months after a hip replacement I was diagnosed with bursitis. After an injection and three months it cleared up but seems to flare up after certain movements. Your lecture was extremely helpful, hopefully this will go away for good.
Good luck Deborah. Stretching is often the long term answer. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hey how r u now
Im 67 and a right BKA (look it up!) My good leg, the left one finally just "gave up" from over use. Knee bursa inglamtion (bad but not horrid) and DEBILITATING outer hip bursa pain. Its crippling. Very little warning.
I should have not strained that leg so much since my BKA in 2007.
I plan on a : 30 lb weight loss goal, improved ergo movements of both my legs from now on.
Just so I can WALK, I neeed a huuuge cortisone shot laced with lidocaine.
My self treatment:
Dramtic weioght loss, stretching, and hip aductor and abductor exercixes will prevent me having to live on cortisone injections.I may need afew until I rehab my hip IT band
so cortisone injection wont remove or get rid of fluid build up in it , since it should kill inflammation?
Sometimes it will but there is a risk of damage to the tendons
What’s physio!
PT?
Yes Maria! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great video. I had bursitis surgery and it was a complete waste of time and money!!
Hi Carmen. Unfortunately sometimes that is the case. Thanks for watching unsubscribing
You guys Re great! I'm a retired Charge nurse for ortho/neuro and now I'm suffering with my hip... dang it... it hurts
Oh man vonda. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Hey how are you now
Did you recover from hip bursitis !? Any improvement ?
Thanks docs you make very relatable and informative vids. I appreciate the information.
Going for a THA June 22 and also have bursitis in same hip. Can’t take NSAIDs due to CKD stage 3. This makes pain tough to manage. Would like to know stretching that would help bursitis after THA. For sure I will bring it up with surgeon and see what I am allowed to do in PT. Already doing gluteal squeezes and the other 3 exercises from your other video to prepare for Surg. Thanks to you both.
Awesome Lorraine. Best of luck with your THR. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hi Docs, My name is Laura, I had a Labral tear in my right hip (from a fall at 43 in 2009) was diagnosed alongside the tear with hip dysplasia. Had a PeriAcetabular Osteotomy. 1-year post-surgery as a result of the reconstruction my pelvic broke in half, nonunion fracture of the Ischium and Pubis bones. 2 years to heal from that. All has left me with years of debilitating pain in my hips, I was diagnosed with hip bursitis, did therapy, massage, and Ibuprofin. Ibuprofin works, but when I stop taking it, the pain comes back. I worry about being on Ibuprofin indefinitely and the damage that could cause. Still the chronic pain, almost burning feeling in my muscles surrounding the area keeps me from being active. I used to be a distance cyclist and a kayak guide. These days I'm lucky if I can do a grocery run by myself. My surgeon did not want to do cortisone injections, he told me they probably would not work. I can relate to being positive I was bone on bone only to find out I still had plenty of cartilage in my hip. I have slowly stopped doing most activities now. I just can't find a solution out there for me, this has been going on for 8 years now. I did think getting hip replacements would finally fix this. Because of my dysplasia, I will need my hips replaced but just the thought of having bursitis even after the replacements is disheartening, to say the least. I am located in Michigan, if you know of a therapy that might work and I haven't tried, I would appreciate it greatly.
Hi Laura. So sorry to hear about the difficult path you have been on . Dysplasia can be tricky and with bursitis on top of that, it is a difficult problem. If you have groin pain, that typically means more of the pain is from the joint whereas if your pain is on the side, that is more likely to be bursitis. Two things that you may want to consider would be an intra-articular injection of cortisone or possibly hyaluronic acid which may help with groin pain. Sometimes injections for bursitis will also help but usually just cortisone. As well, you can try a topical preparation to reduce the inflammation and possibly reduce your need for advil. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
Any thoughts on shockwave therapy? I'm doing that and I'm quite sceptical.
