I've been diagnosed with Trochanteric bursitis by my pain Dr in both hips but the right one is very painful & I can't sleep & now it's affecting my walking & it even sometimes feels feverish to the touch. I keep getting hip injections & they only help for a few months but my pain Dr recommended I go on here to find these exercises to strengthen that area. Well let me tell you I got relief immediately. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I have been living with this & chronic back pain & just to get this under control helps me sleep better & is helping me walk again. It was so bad that it would just wear me down & I couldn't do anything. Again thank you so much ❤️❤️for doing these videos you have helped me get rid of some unbearable pain in both hips especially the right one. Wow I am just amazed how well these helped. I was under the impression just like you said that it was tight in that area not that it needed to be strengthened. Thank you again you can't imagine how much pain I was in & these exercises you have provided gave me immediate relief.😁

Great video. I've had hip bursitis for over 25 years but about 6 months ago it really flared up. So I started doing some of these stretches and exercises and at first I couldn't believe how weak my hip muscles were. I could barely do 5 abduction straight leg raises. After about a month the bursitis went away and except for a brief flare up (due to sleeping on it) I've been pain free. Plus my hips feel much stronger. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for the great information Doctor Jo! I’ve been having left sided hip pain and tightness off and on for about a year and was recently diagnosed with Trochanter Bursitis. Question: In your opinion, is it common to have active trigger points/muscle knots in the hip and buttocks area with this condition? I’ve been using a lacrosse ball to massage them out along the way. Any thoughts you have are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@AskDoctorJo]

It's pretty common to have the knots and trigger points because most likely you are walking differently, which works the muscles in ways they usually don't work. Do you have access to a pool?

[@Phil-wl8cy]

Thank you so much for the response, Doctor Jo. Yes, I do notice my walk is off a bit - I feel like I’m walking slightly on the outer edge of my left foot (which appears to be giving me some foot arch tightness & pain as a result). I’m assuming it’s all interconnected as I’ve never had these issues before and they seem to have all appeared around the same time as if it were a chain reaction. Yes, I do have access to a pool. What do you recommend?

[@AskDoctorJo]

It is definitely possible that it's all related. I have several aquatic therapy videos that might help. You can check them out here: kzbin.info/aero/PLPS8D21t0eO-X68fTNKk7UEkegxDqzQ3U

[@Phil-wl8cy]

Thank you very much for the guidance and information. I’ve been doing the bursitis stretches & exercises, in addition to the stretches & exercises recommended in your “Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome” video (thinking this will help loosen up the tightness and pain I’m experiencing in the arch of my foot due to the abnormal walking). I’m also paying attention to the way I walk to ensure I walk correctly and I can already feel a difference. It appears everything is beginning to calm down (the muscle knots and tightness are becoming more infrequent and my foot issues are lessening as well). As a result, the chief complaint at this point is more localized at the site of the Greater Trochanteric Bursa Sac (which is also making progress). I’ll be seeing an orthopedic in the very near future and I’m hoping a cortisone injection will get me over the hump and on the road to full recovery. I will definitely check out your aquatic therapy videos and work them into my physical therapy to further strengthen the targeted muscles. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to converse with me to offer your expertise, it’ appreciated more than you know and you likely don’t hear that enough in this particular forum considering how you go above and beyond out of the kindness of your heart. I’m truly humbled and grateful for your time and feedback. I’ll share any revelations as time goes by. Have a blessed day.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome, and thank you. I am glad you are getting some relief, and hopefully you will feel completely better soon! Good luck.

[@deniseg6880]

Hi dr. Jo! Stumbled upon this when browsing a knee video you suggested... My PT thinks I may have bursitis on both sides, that and or may be overworking the itb. I know...I'm falling apart! Haha... I actually got the pain after doing PT for a couple months doing those same exercises. Side leg raises, clam shells, etc. I was up to 30 reps per leg with 3 lb weights on the side legs and clamshells and front leg raises too. Was also doing the IT band stretch... My feeling is I overdid and boom everything got inflamed. Question is, what is there to do when the exercises/stretches that are supposed to help the pain played part in what caused it? I am so sorry to ask so many questions, but appreciate your help cleaning up the mess I've gotten into! 😀

[@AskDoctorJo]

I think it's definitely an "overdid it" issue. In my humble opinion 30 reps with weights is way too much for rehab work. You can still do the same exercises, but try just doing 2 sets of 10 with no weights and go slow and controlled, and only stretching to tension, no pain.

[@deniseg6880]

AskDoctorJo Thank you! My plan is to stretch lightly until the pain is much better then start to reintroduce some strengthening exercises and I will not do a billion of them 😀. Is heat good for injuries after the first few days...I iced a while but wonder if I need the blood flow from the heat now? Thanks have a nice night!

[@deniseg6880]

AskDoctorJo thanks! My plan is to stretch lightly until the pain is much better then I will reintroduce some strengthening exercises without doing a billion of them 😀. I iced a few days should I switch to heat to help the blood flow repair the tissues? Thanks again!

[@AskDoctorJo]

If you have noticeable swelling, I would continue to ice. I usually tell people heat before you stretch/exercise to help loosen up the muscles, and then ice afterwards to calm it back down.

How long does the pain last I’m 24 to young for this hip pain an I’ve never been injured or broken anything smh

[@almurad1133]

Im 17

[@scottmitchell3056]

How long did yours take to heal? I smashed my hip snowboarding I'm about 2/3 weeks still with bursitis, my pain level is around 1/10, just an annoying ache

[@Kryzvlogs]

I've had this since nov2022. I still experience it every couple weeks. I'm a part time weightlifter. I do the strength workouts but not full off season. I'm hoping it heals 100% once I go full off season.

Im 22 smh! My hips feel 80!

I found this video very practical, useful and easily effective.

[@swapnilsidam2648]

Thank you for your reply 🙂

[@Breeannful]

Good stretches! Thanks.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks, and you're welcome.

[@KatJ3st]

Hahaha if I only could!!! I need a hip replacement I have no mobility in my right hip to stretch where I need :-(

[@RCSatterfield52]

I am grateful for this video and the stretches & exercises. It has helped more than anything. Maybe because it's easy to follow, concise and so do-able. The same or similar were provided to me by my PT and a trainer (but harder versions). But this video and what it contains has been the most successful for me in finding some relief. Thanks Dr. Jo!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I'm glad they are helping!

[@patt2415]

You teach me so much Dr. Jo! The pta in my area provides no basic education and dislikes my curiosity. Thanks again!

[@AskDoctorJo]
