I have had this condition because of a Trama car accident, I walk like I am on a cruise and it is getting rough. I have been searching for months and this is their best video on this condition I have watched many and been around physio gym platies and it works as I have been self treating at the gym with help, no drugs. Balance is very important exercise. I wear dance practice shoes split soul all the time or good feet inserts. Box step waltz balance bounce strengthing helps. Nutrition is important to get rid of inflammatory condition I drink apple cyder vinegar. 9 months into recovery over 60 it hurts but I would not call it painful as it was in the beginning as I could not walk. Hope this helps, I have treated other conditions and Bob Brad are the best. I pray for you all suffering this condition to be healed in Jesus Name I believe prayer helps.

I have watched all of your videos regarding hip pain and after doing the resistance exercises for about two weeks, I can happily report that my pain from hip to my knee for the past 8 months is gone! This stuff WORKS! Thank you, Bob and Brad!

EXCELLENT description about bursitis. You have helped immensely.

[@wendysmobilehomesweethome423]

I know this video is a few years old, but I just had to comment. I was diagnosed with bursitis in my left hip in 2007, and it was the beginning of a nightmare. I hurt so bad, and nothing worked. I had so many cortisone shots that I lost track. After a year and a half, my Dr recommended a Bursectomy as a last resort. I'm sure it will come as no surprise to you that it didn't work. I was informed a few years down the road by an orthopedic Dr that no one does that surgery because it just simply doesn't work. By then, I was unable to continue working and retired early in 2013. I wish I had found you way back then!!!! I'm happy to see by the comments that you are helping so many people. God bless you!

[@SuperNewMom1]

Thank you guys for helping me figure this mystery out! I have multiple spinal herniations including one at L4-L5 from a car accident. I’ve suffered lower back pain and stiffness for months but recently the pain is on my outer buttock area. I got shots for the pain and clicking and was told it’s my si joints. After watching another video you did on hip bursitis I realized that the messenger bag that I carry everyday strapped over one shoulder is constantly putting weight on my hip and also the constant contact with my hip when I walk is agitating the area. I started taking my meloxicam again and stopped using the messenger handbag and it helped!! Whewh!! That’s much better than facing a hip replacement in my thirties.

[@hisser64]

My PT showed me a different way to do the figure 4 stretch. Instead of pulling your legs up, put the leg that is not crossed on a ball and roll it towards you.

[@alan30189]

Thanks to this video, I now know I have bursitis, although a MRI showed that I had arthritis. All my pain on the side of my hip, not the lower or inner part. Throughout my life, I typically crossed my left leg over my right leg as you displayed here, and had good flexibility, but got bursitis in my left hip. Also, when I played baseball, I always slid on my left side, landing partly on that hip. I think that might’ve been part of the cause, although I didn’t feel any pain until I was in my 50’s. My right hip is much less flexible, and doesn’t have any bursitis or any pain whatsoever. Therefore, I thought crossing my left leg possibly helped cause the bursitis. The best way I found to control and eliminate the pain, is to simply exercise and keep the hip muscle strong. I already do some of your exercises here, but am going to do some of the other ones, but will be careful on the “leg crossing” one. I don’t want to get bursitis in my right hip, too.

I am watching because I've had a recent bout of burning pain in my hip. However, watching makes me think of my family. Your comment on the cane is so right on about people who refuse to use one. Would rather be in pain and walk awkwardly than use one. My mother is one of those. I found her a free sitting elliptical as well. It's sitting in her garage under mounds of junk. She has the tools, so it's up to her whether or not she uses them... I am going to do what I can to keep moving. Had a doctor tell me while in the midst of chemo to not stop moving. Even if at a snails pace.

Hi Kids! I’m 63 and have had hip pain 17 years. I was told it’s bursitis. It comes and goes. I just had a torn meniscus repaired (I hope!) 5 weeks ago and my opposite knee and opposite hip are KILLING me! The surgeon said I had a hip spur. He said there’s not much to do about that. WHAT??? I’m starting these stretches in the morning. I just got a new compression sleeve for my knee and I bought some $49 CBD cream, first time to try it. (Sagely at Walgreens). Thanks for you helpful videos! I had my rotator cuff repaired last Dec. so I used your tips for that, too. I’m a mess!!!

[@georgeetoile6686]

Fitness Technology Services Try using 2 standard canes with a curved top, not a flat top. Set them higher than you think, about 2 or 3 inches higher than your wrists. This takes the weight off the hip while walking, and gives lateral stability. Easier than crutches, providing your arms are strong.
