One of the best on this bursitis topic. Lots of RUclips clips over-simplify this issue and worse still - to have a video title like: 5 minutes to heal you hip pain!
@@SportsInjuryPhysio Can a bursa give very long term problems after sudden impact? I landed hard on my hip on the corner of a tiled fireplace surround when just 5-6 years old. Had x-rays in adulthood but no bone damage and only very slight signs of arthritis. Have had problems ever since.
Thank you Maryke. Very informative and exactly what I needed to hear right now, since my ultrasound has come back positive for bursitis. It’s 31st of December and the physio isn’t back till the 4th. Im back at work on the 9th and want to make sure I give myself the best opportunity to be able to walk by then. Wished I watched this earlier as I have aggravated my bursitis by trying to stretch the area to the point where later that day I couldn’t walk, stand or sleep without feeling extreme pain. I will try the ball massage method against the wall to help sooth the surrounding muscles. Hadn’t I of watched this video today, I’d still be trying to stretch it out 🤦♂️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Try foam roller too w/warm (not hot) compress for 5 min before.) For me felt softer then balls but both work. Ortho surgeon for back saw stretching as over hyped for years and too often does more harm then good.
I had this some years back. It started on day 4 of my holiday abroad. No idea what I did to start it off. Went to Physio when I came back and not much difference. I had the cortisone injection at the Physio after my doctor recommended him. He went in and out with the needle to cover different spots just tiny amount of cortisone used. The pain went quite quickly and it's never come back thank goodness.
This helped me so much to really understand what is/was going on. Also, your description of how to massage the area is exactly what I felt and how I managed to relax the muscles there, good to hear I wasn't doing anything stupid 😬
Best best video on RUclips for my problem. Over 6 months of terrible pain. Hundreds of pain pills - every few hours - every day. But the pain is just starting to subside now. I am on my fourth day of no pain pills - finally. Was able to walk outside in the snow today. I am doing mild stretches and message with my knuckles. That seems to help it all relax. Thanks for the great video which describes my problem exactly. Thanks for the information. You are an angel. God Bless.
I'm so happy I found you, I've gotten injections in my hip, I even went to a pain management clinic and got an epidural. Nothing has helped and no doctor has ever given me as much information about my pain as you just did. Thank you so much. I now have knowledge that I can use when I see the doctor again.
@@Katie-vy5rd I finally went to a pain management clinic and got two epidural injections in my back, the one in the tail bone region stopped the pain, but it wasn't imminent, it took a month or so. The shots are only for pain, they don't fix the underlying condition that's causing the pain. My pain is currently much less than it was, not pain-free but I can live with it.
This video has given me the most detailed and clearly laid out picture of my hip bursitis so far. Although I have gotten, I believe, a correct diagnosis of hip bursitis by my physician, seen several physios and explored numerous videos on the subject, this video is gives me by far the most thorough and comprehensive information on my problem thus far. Now I am ‚armed‘ with enough information to review my habits to see if some are causing the pain, to avoid certain movements and postures, and can develop a game plan for my treatment. I am currently in Thailand, where I am undergoing acupuncture for various health issues. The acu doctor has included needle treatment surrounding the sore hip, not directly on it. Ive been astounded that it seems to be helping-your mention of dry needling/acupuncture as being effective for some helps me confirm that the slight improvement is due to the recent acupuncture. Still not sure if my case requires strengthening or releasing….will try out some things. Thank you
15:26 - I did clams and side lifts for my trochanteric bursitis on my right leg ('cause of the video where they said those are 'great exercises' for bursitis!) and they made it so. much. worse!! I'll never do them ever again... Thanks for your video!
Great video. You offer a lot of useful info to self diagnose how such an injury may have started, how one may still be inadvertently aggravating it, and tactics to resolve it.
This was so informative! I am suffering from what both my Physiotherapist and my Doctor have diagnosed as Trochanteric Bursitis. I really appreciate this thorough explanation. Thank you!
Trochanteric Bursitis.is what I have,waiting for treatment-how did it go for you?Does it return?All the best to you,it's nasty;I've been suffering since Christmas;the 1st doctor I saw had me convinced I need a hip replacement,I'm so mad at him,over 3 months of this,finally saw a surgeon who ordered the treatment,cheers
@@OujiDarkmatter How is your treatment going? I had a doctor tell me the same thing. I told him to get a life. I was diagnosed with bursitis in both of my hips. One orthopedic told me basically it was nothing he can do, no cure. He gave me some exercises to do and prescribed ibuprofen, I am definitely not taking that everyday. I just deal with the pain and try not to aggravate them. S Sometimes they get really inflamed, sad face emoji. I just saw an ice pack on Amazon that wraps the entire hip, I was thinking of ordering that, the reviews are pretty positive.
I began doing right side line clamshells exercises lying on my left side, and next day my right lower leg & foot was numb. Iced it after gentle massage and felt better. Thank you 🙏🏽
I did hip abduction i put the disc weight on my hip i felt thé pain and burning next day Its been a month this happened i still not recovered yet Hope you r healed 🙏
This was so helpful, Maryke, thank you! You helped me identify the cause. Clam shells and leg lifts! I started doing them in recent weeks and it was after that when the lateral hip pain started. Another RUclips channel by two well-known PT guys actually RECOMMENDED doing stretches for this lateral hip pain! Well I've learned from past experience with those two to always question their advice and do more research since I've found some of what they say to be questionable, very general, and even a bit careless at times. Anyway, I've stopped doing the leg stretches and clam shells because you make perfect sense and I now know that this led to my problem. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Your videos are so informative and helpful!
This is by far the most helpful and informative advice I have found on the internet ,so many physios get you to stretch and mine has been getting worse. Thank you
Baie, baie dankie! Bells were going off in my head as I listened to you! This video was 10 times more valuable than the appointment I just had with an NHS Physio, which left me confused and just holding a leaflet of excercises to try - some of which seemed to make the pain worse - and now I think I am begining to understand why... She made no mention of shoes either - but I now realise the new pair of Skechers I recently bought could be part of the problem. My thanks again for the video (BTW I'm in Cambridge UK but, if not for my present pain, i would now be enjoyimg a holiday in Cape Town!!)
I love your thorough information i suffer with bursa n the hip and it defenately effect the nerve n the buttox . I will try the excersises and avoid the bad habbits mention. Thanks again
I have to agree that this is the most informative video I have watched on this. Thank you I was doing some stitches that hurt my hip and now I will wait till it heals.
A year last February I had a nasty fall landing on my left side in work. I went to A&E as my shoulder was very painful. It was soft tissue damage. Following morning when I woke up my hip was very painful. I had physio it got better. Alas I went for a walk up hill for 30 minutes in June and had an awful pain in my hip again. I had another appointment with the physio in July but a week before that I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle on the same side. 8 weeks with my leg elevated above my heart and an operation on my ankle! My ankle is fine now but still my hip still painful. I am seeing a physio, he gave me lots of exercises, it's finally getting better. I'm a nurse and cut my hours and not doing 12.5 hours anymore as my physio said this would aggravate my hip. Thanks for all this info!
I have had a hip replacement about a year ago. Went through physio ok. Now I have pain and sounds like bursitis. Every internet vid suggested stretching for treatment. No good. Thank you for your direct and educational vid. I am now a subscriber.
Fantastic presentation! So informative and such a sensible approach to diagnosis, treatment, and management. Thank you! This was extremely helpful for me. It filled in all the gaps of important information that my physician did not tell me.
Thank you for such an amazing video. It really helps us at home identify where we stand when we are frustrated with pain. I found out with you that it is definitely my posture, always leaning on one side. I do this since I was little, but time is now making me pay for it. Thank you.
Thank you for making these powerful videos. Whenever I sit too long , I have pain and discomfort around my hips shooting down my left leg. Whst is the treatment for this?
Thank you for the great explanation. My hip “specialist “ did not explain any of this and it was very helpful understanding where my pain is actually coming from and how to treat it. 👍
I understand so much better after watching this video. I will start changing some things. The first inyección didn't work. The second one did and I see now why. Thank you so much!!!
I definitely think I’m experiencing this right now. In the past I have had bursitis in the shoulder that has come and gone.. I do lean on one hip a lot and I think that possibly is the reason for mine flaring up and a possible recent injury that I may have neglected to see as an injury until now.
I'am glad l came across this video. Lots of useful information as lm dealing with this condition for a long time. l will have my scan injections this week and I'm glad to know that it is one of the best treatments for bursitis. Doctor thank you for this video. Good luck.
Thank you so much!!🙏 Having seen this video I believe I can finally resolve my lateral hip issue. It has intermittently plagued me for years. Your video is the best of many I have seen on the subject and was also more helpful than the few practitioners I have visited.. As they say, “Knowledge is power.” Much gratitude & respect..
Thank you Maryke for mentioning impact and downhill running as possible causes! I misjudged downhill strides two weeks in a row, both with powerful impacts and my right hip bursa got inflammed. Oddly, not right away, but like a couple days later is when I noticed it. Following up with back-breaking lifting one weekend didn't help either. Anyway, I went 2 full months without running, but am now slowly coming back, but am noticing the bursa getting irritated after the run a little, but not too bad. We'll see.
What a great bedside manner, so informative & clearly explained.. and a really great idea for an online physio practice. I realise "in hindsight" and confirmed by your video, that it was my 'well-intentioned' stretching (on 2 different occasions) that caused hip bursitis pain to go into absolute throbbing overdrive.. I get it now.. no more stretching until things settle down, and even then .. go easy. I also think if you stomach sleep with 1 leg 'up'.. all night long.. that could be another habit that would be contributing to this condition..
I just found this video, and I am excited about putting your recommendations into play. I had initially thought my issue could only be one problem, but from your video, I suspect my particular issue is more than one problem.
Thank you. I have had chronic hip bursa inflammation and pain. I've been put through physical therapy which made me do stretches, all causing me much more pain.
One of the best if not the best video I have seen on Hip Bursitis ! The combo of experience and evidence based guidance is delivered honestly and practically ! Thank You for this Content
I’ve been in the Hawaiian hula dancing classes for the past 3 years. We would practice dancing once a week and sometimes we would do performances but lately I’ve noticed that my right hip is starting to feel very sore and it get worst and worst after the dancing session. I truly aware that the cause of my hip pain is from the dancing due to the nature of the dance it require lots of hip movement. I’ve done lots of stretches to loosen up my muscle and hopefully to minimize the pain but the pain will come back especially after the dance workout! I just hoping that I don’t have to quit what I love to do. 😭 I would definitely try the ball massage hopefully it will reduce the pain on my right hip.
@@vivianeraw8448 Yes, it has taken a while, but with better understanding, I was able to strengthen some opposing muscles and hugely improve my hip pain.
@@vivianeraw8448 That was definitely the hardest part, was trying to sort out what activities or life movements made it worse, and trying to avoid them. It was frustrating for sure. I found laying on the floor with my feet and lower legs on the couch actually seemed to take pressure off, so I would do that alot. However, it seems everyone is slightly different with what helps and what aggravates. Hang in there. It does get better.
Left gluteus minimus insertional tendinopathy w intermediate grade partial-thickness tear & mild greater trochantery bursitis. Bilateral mild gluteus medius and right gluteus minimus insertional tendinopathy Mild left hip osteoarthritis with a degenerated and torn anterosuperior labrum. Mild bilateral common hamstring tendinopathy w/o high-grade tear. Done therapy, had a cortisone shot that lasted about 5 weeks, scheduled for a PRP injection in 2 weeks.
Thank you so much for your detailed information. I have been diagnosed with bursitis and have been given some very gentle exercises which I have for week 1,2, 3,and 4. I have taken your comments regarding stretching exercises on board and will definitely not do anything that may worsen my condition.
thank you for the informative and useful video, I suffered this bursitis pain for 3 years, met the doctor so many times, but now I find it, I have taken a dose of Anti-inflammatory this week, it works very well, the pain disappeared, but I still find a long term solution to end it. Hope everything will be ok,
@@vivianeraw8448 I would say, Yes, I find out that drinking Tumeric with black pepper everyday can eliminate the pain from bursitis. I started from 2 years ago, and now I feel free from pain, I even play football again after 3 years.
Thank you for this, the most comprehensive and helpful video I have watched on hip bursitis, which I have in both hips, according to the NHS orthopaedic doctor I've been seeing in outpatients. He didn't offer any explanation or advice on treatment, except to refer me (reluctantly!) for a steroid injection... I'm still waiting for this several months later.
very detailed , i understood all you said and feel that someone is out there that understands my injury and can help eleviate my pain. Im grateful. thanks so much
I have watched this several times now and each time get more information! Very helpful, more so than the orthopedic specialist I just recently went and saw.
This is terrific information. My rheumatologist poked on the side of my hips and said I have bursitis. She gave me some exercises to do. Not feeling better. Yikes. May need to head to a physical therapist.
I told my Doctor 2 days that I thought I had this and explained all the strengthening and stretches I was doing; she smiled and said I had diagnosed myself correctly 😅
Very informative, I am an active 80 Year old but hip bursitis stops me in my tracks and I can only walk very short distances. Been told I may need my bursa removed as I’ve had this condition for a long time and injections are no longer working, but thank you for this video.
Thank you Maryke, that was very helpful. Your explanations and rationales are easily understandable. You've given me more insight into my ongoing hip pain and what my physiotherapist is doing for me. (And why he recommended that nasty little hard prickly ball!) Thank you again.
I had right hip replacement 2 yrs ago. Painful bursitis ever since. Been treated 3 times with anti inflams without much success, but will try and focus on preventing flare ups on your advice. Thank you for the informative video.
I would love to see a video how my flat feet, almost nonexistent foot arch, might over the years have contributed to my physiological issues? I find when I wear shoes with too much arch support it hurts my feet. Two little arch support, is it causing my knees to want to come together more when I walk? Compressing all those hip and gluteal muscles? Thank you again for your truly informative videos.
Fantastic help and i think at long last I may have a diagnosis for my incredibley painful left hip that seems to be fine first thing in the morning but more painful has the day goes on. Thank you
I am a goalkeeper and i have been injured with this (hip bursitis) twice now 😅 First was on my left side (recovered) and now it is on my right side (recovering) ..its been 2 weeks since it occurred and so the pain is gone but little bit of swelling is there... 2ND hip bursitis was pain full then that of 1st one ..
This is really good info. I’ve been in pain for months after I upped my running by 20+ miles x week. As a US Marine this kills me. I was being treated for Piriformis with no luck. Now I’m being treated for Trochanteric Bursitis. I’ve been stretching a lot because 90% of the info I’ve found this was recommended. Dry needling didn’t help me either. I’m going to focus on massaging and strengthening. Next thing would be a cortizone injection to see if the pain subsides. Thanks.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio Hello! This is a great video! I was diagnosed before with trochanteric bursitis and possible labral tear. I am an amateur ballroom dancer. I would love to make an online appointment with Maryke Louw if it’s possible! Thank you in advance!
@@Jmnzx got that cortizone injection and the pain went away for a year. Now, Every time I run extensively it kinda comes back but I stretch and have been doing a lot of lower body work. What I get is more of a slight pain in comparison with a year ago when it was unbearable. Now I have it under control. Or so I think.
This is very helpful and you made it clear what is bursitis all about. In fact, you clearly explain the pros and cons of strengthening and also the best type of exercise you could look for. Moreover, you made it clear, how to understand your problem. Indeed, i am still suffering from this even though i do a lot of abduction and adduction exercise. I think strengthen exercise could get worse and the best is isometric exercise. That helps a lot though.
Excellent explanation! I have been suffering from very painful hip bursitis when I walk after a left knee replacement (full). Is this common in your experience and what has been the resolution? I have two orthopedic surgeons recommending a bursectomy.
This video is so informative! Most informative video about hip bursitis on RUclips! Thank you so much ❤ I wish you were in NSW for an inperson consult 😢

What a great bedside manner, so informative & clearly explained.. and a really great idea for an online physio practice.
I realise "in hindsight" and confirmed by your video, that it was my 'well-intentioned' stretching (on 2 different occasions) that caused hip bursitis pain to go into absolute throbbing overdrive.. I get it now.. no more stretching until things settle down, and even then .. go easy.
I also think if you stomach sleep with 1 leg 'up'.. all night long.. that could be another habit that would be contributing to this condition..
Thanks for sharing! Here's our video with sleeping tips for lateral hip pain, in case you haven't seen it: ruclips.net/video/6hwA_cG9N-M/видео.html
Very thorough explanation with great guidance on how to identify, treat, and prevent this. Thank you!!
More helpful than visiting my doc and PT combined! Amazing channel! ❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
I just found this video, and I am excited about putting your recommendations into play. I had initially thought my issue could only be one problem, but from your video, I suspect my particular issue is more than one problem.
Good luck with your recovery!
Thank you. I have had chronic hip bursa inflammation and pain. I've been put through physical therapy which made me do stretches, all causing me much more pain.
Hey how r u now
Hope you recovered
I love this. Very informative. Thank you.
Excellent video; she explains things so simply yet in sufficient detail
Thank you!
Amazing advice. Thank you❤
You're welcome!
Now I know why my shot isn’t working.We have up to 9 Burses not 1.You explain this the best on the internet.Thanks so much
One of the best if not the best video I have seen on Hip Bursitis ! The combo of experience and evidence based guidance is delivered honestly and practically ! Thank You for this Content
I’ve been in the Hawaiian hula dancing classes for the past 3 years. We would practice dancing once a week and sometimes we would do performances but lately I’ve noticed that my right hip is starting to feel very sore and it get worst and worst after the dancing session. I truly aware that the cause of my hip pain is from the dancing due to the nature of the dance it require lots of hip movement. I’ve done lots of stretches to loosen up my muscle and hopefully to minimize the pain but the pain will come back especially after the dance workout! I just hoping that I don’t have to quit what I love to do. 😭 I would definitely try the ball massage hopefully it will reduce the pain on my right hip.
You have the longest comment I've ever seen but you have to get your point across, lol.
Don't stretch!!!
Hey Faiza Hope you recovered fully from bursitis
I am late in finding this video, but must say it is the most informative piece I have had that covers this topic. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Hey how r u now did u get better
@@vivianeraw8448 Yes, it has taken a while, but with better understanding, I was able to strengthen some opposing muscles and hugely improve my hip pain.
@@marilynmcleod4907 m glad your bursitis got away
M trying to take rest to Lower thé inflammation and thé friction of thé bursa
@@vivianeraw8448 That was definitely the hardest part, was trying to sort out what activities or life movements made it worse, and trying to avoid them. It was frustrating for sure. I found laying on the floor with my feet and lower legs on the couch actually seemed to take pressure off, so I would do that alot. However, it seems everyone is slightly different with what helps and what aggravates. Hang in there. It does get better.
Excellent presentation. Love the South African accent.
One of the best videos on hip pain / bursitis
Soooooo good. I have been in so much pain, I’ve had a cortisone injection it seems to have helped . Your video just makes good sense thankyou
Best video ever! Just was diagnosed today, thank you for this video. Your an angel!
Hey how r u now did u recover from bursitis

This is complete explanation . thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for your detailed information. I have been diagnosed with bursitis and have been given some very gentle exercises which I have for week 1,2, 3,and 4. I have taken your comments regarding stretching exercises on board and will definitely not do anything that may worsen my condition.
Thank you for your Video. Amazing ! So well explained and helpful.
thank you for the informative and useful video, I suffered this bursitis pain for 3 years, met the doctor so many times, but now I find it, I have taken a dose of Anti-inflammatory this week, it works very well, the pain disappeared, but I still find a long term solution to end it. Hope everything will be ok,
Hey how r u now did u recover from bursitis
@@vivianeraw8448 I would say, Yes, I find out that drinking Tumeric with black pepper everyday can eliminate the pain from bursitis. I started from 2 years ago, and now I feel free from pain, I even play football again after 3 years.
Thank you for this, the most comprehensive and helpful video I have watched on hip bursitis, which I have in both hips, according to the NHS orthopaedic doctor I've been seeing in outpatients. He didn't offer any explanation or advice on treatment, except to refer me (reluctantly!) for a steroid injection... I'm still waiting for this several months later.
Glad you found it helpful!
very detailed , i understood all you said and feel that someone is out there that understands my injury and can help eleviate my pain. Im grateful. thanks so much
Hey
How r u now
Did u recover from bursitis !?
Absolutely brilliant information. Thank you 🙏
I have watched this several times now and each time get more information! Very helpful, more so than the orthopedic specialist I just recently went and saw.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent explanations to navigate and assess the hip and low back issues. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
You're welcome!
I have bursitis for a long time. Your video is very information and easy to understand. I will try your adiveces and hope for improvement. Thank you.
Best of luck!
This is terrific information. My rheumatologist poked on the side of my hips and said I have bursitis. She gave me some exercises to do. Not feeling better. Yikes. May need to head to a physical therapist.
Really appreciate your clarity. Thank you so much.
Hey how r u now did u recover from bursitis
I told my Doctor 2 days that I thought I had this and explained all the strengthening and stretches I was doing; she smiled and said I had diagnosed myself correctly 😅
Very informative, I am an active 80 Year old but hip bursitis stops me in my tracks and I can only walk very short distances. Been told I may need my bursa removed as I’ve had this condition for a long time and injections are no longer working, but thank you for this video.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Maryke, that was very helpful. Your explanations and rationales are easily understandable. You've given me more insight into my ongoing hip pain and what my physiotherapist is doing for me. (And why he recommended that nasty little hard prickly ball!) Thank you again.
You're welcome! Best wishes for your recovery.
Thank you so much for a very informative video! So helpful
You are the best Doctor I ever seen. Your explanation and advice are fantastic. Good luck
I love your videos! So informative! Thank you ❤️
Excellent! I'm understanding my condition now.🙂 The best explanation.👌
I had right hip replacement 2 yrs ago. Painful bursitis ever since. Been treated 3 times with anti inflams without much success, but will try and focus on preventing flare ups on your advice. Thank you for the informative video.
Just one question please, is it ok to massage the painful area with Arnica Oil?
@@pamelaeardley6535 never massage thé bursa area
You Can massage your IT band hips thighs
Great full for you taking the time to explain this
What an excellent explanation. Not sure if I have hip bursitis but will be gentle on myself.
My hip started hurting mile 3, dull ache two day ago. I just foam rolled my IT band and it feels much better at the moment
I would love to see a video how my flat feet, almost nonexistent foot arch, might over the years have contributed to my physiological issues? I find when I wear shoes with too much arch support it hurts my feet. Two little arch support, is it causing my knees to want to come together more when I walk? Compressing all those hip and gluteal muscles? Thank you again for your truly informative videos.
Fantastic help and i think at long last I may have a diagnosis for my incredibley painful left hip that seems to be fine first thing in the morning but more painful has the day goes on. Thank you
You're welcome!
I have tried EVERYTHING YOU SUGGEST. STRETCHING SOMETIMES HELP IN GLUTES ACTUALLY, CORTISONE I EFFECTUAL.
Thank you, very halpful. I can't lie on that side because it hurts
Glad it helped
I am a goalkeeper and i have been injured with this (hip bursitis) twice now 😅
First was on my left side (recovered) and now it is on my right side (recovering) ..its been 2 weeks since it occurred and so the pain is gone but little bit of swelling is there...
2ND hip bursitis was pain full then that of 1st one ..
Thank you, very informative.
Such an awesome informative clip, no agenda just good information - thank you
Glad you found it useful Jo! xm
This is really good info. I’ve been in pain for months after I upped my running by 20+ miles x week. As a US Marine this kills me. I was being treated for Piriformis with no luck. Now I’m being treated for Trochanteric Bursitis. I’ve been stretching a lot because 90% of the info I’ve found this was recommended. Dry needling didn’t help me either.
I’m going to focus on massaging and strengthening. Next thing would be a cortizone injection to see if the pain subsides.
Thanks.
Good luck with it Nielsen. xm
Castor oil packs help it... It decreases the inflammation..
@@SportsInjuryPhysio Hello!
This is a great video! I was diagnosed before with trochanteric bursitis and possible labral tear. I am an amateur ballroom dancer. I would love to make an online appointment with Maryke Louw if it’s possible! Thank you in advance!
Can we get a update? How you doin so far
@@Jmnzx got that cortizone injection and the pain went away for a year. Now, Every time I run extensively it kinda comes back but I stretch and have been doing a lot of lower body work. What I get is more of a slight pain in comparison with a year ago when it was unbearable. Now I have it under control. Or so I think.
Very. Informative and helpful thank you
Very good advices! Thanks so much !!
This video is saving lives. Thank u
This is very helpful and you made it clear what is bursitis all about. In fact, you clearly explain the pros and cons of strengthening and also the best type of exercise you could look for. Moreover, you made it clear, how to understand your problem. Indeed, i am still suffering from this even though i do a lot of abduction and adduction exercise. I think strengthen exercise could get worse and the best is isometric exercise. That helps a lot though.
Good luck with your recovery!
Excellent explanation! I have been suffering from very painful hip bursitis when I walk after a left knee replacement (full). Is this common in your experience and what has been the resolution? I have two orthopedic surgeons recommending a bursectomy.
Did you have the bursectomy and was it successful?
Did u do thé surgery?
This video is so informative! Most informative video about hip bursitis on RUclips! Thank you so much ❤ I wish you were in NSW for an inperson consult 😢
Incredible quality of advice and explanation. Definitely subscribing to this channel, thank you.
All your videos are excellent - easy to understand explanations that are very descriptive. Thanks.
You are welcome!
Thank you! Really helpful and informative. In the process of arranging doc appointments. In the mean time i find rest and sleep are a boon.
