The best hip bursitis video I've seen on KZbin by far. Thank you so much

[@saraheart2804]

I had hip pain. My endocrinologist told me that many people who have hip pain have vitamin D3 deficiency. I started taking a supplement, and it went away.

[@drkristieennis]

Good to hear! I can certainly tell you that lots of us in New England have low vitamin D!

[@davidyork8020]

think about taking yucca or burdock root too

[@marytomskicrane7189]

How much vitamin D did your endocrinologist recommend?

[@NadeneBeach]

Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb more calcium, vitamin K2 helps your body transport it to your bones and teeth rather than letting it sit in your arteries and other soft tissues in your body. This not only helps to promote bone health, but it also helps to keep your heart healthy as well. Be sure to ask how much YOU should take. Vitamin d toxicity can result if one takes too much

I've been struggling with my left side for about two years, acupucture, massage, stretching, and now Pilates. Watching your moves is a lot like some Pilates moves I now do. All the things you say don't do, sticking hip out to the side, walking like a penguin, etc. I am so glad I found this video. I am going to do these exercises and try to walk correctly. I'm 77 and I shouldn't be like this. Thank you

Some fasting + low carb will reduce the inflammation quickly. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin.. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Thanks for these tips and exercises. I've been experiencing hip bursitis for a month or so now. All of the other PT videos I watched included stretching the muscles ovet the bursae. I wondered why I wasn't making any progress. Here is to a better outcome!

[@juancena1259]

I wanted to say that these are very healing 💖 I'll get a flare-up two or three times a year since they started, and it usually takes me a day to remember i need to do exercises to fix it, I will ice my tailbone right away. Since i found your video and tried the exercises its instant relief of 50 percent of the pain and stiffness associated with the flare-up. Last time it was fixed within 3 days. One started yesterday after my tailbone cracked while doing a vertical hang, then i took a bath to try to soothe my stiff hips, when i got out of the bath my bursa was hot and my legs stiffened up considerably so i reached for ice over my tailbone to quell inflammation. I remembered today to search up your vid again! Feeling a bit better already. When i hear about someone having bursitis in the future i will send them this vid. 😊 I still think the bursa should not be massaged but the area around it is okay.

Excellent advice about NOT doing the standing at the bar exercise on your affected leg. Most physios will tell you to do your exs on both sides, but I have experienced increased pain from doing this, and now i understand why. Thank you for this very useful tip.

I suffered for years, but after cutting out gluten from my diet I found it made a huge difference. I accidentally came across the “cure” because I wanted to drop a few pounds so cut out bread etc. I felt the difference in my hip within a week or two. I still have bursitis, but can control it much better now by being careful with the hip exercises I do and as I said being aware of my gluten consumption. I also drink “Golden Milk” and have found that turmeric really helps as well. I’ve done the needles into the hip and everything you can think of. In the end the simple method that has given me the best results. Try it…no kidding!

[@Jerry16776]

I had similar results when I eliminated all foods with added sugar or anything made with processed grains along with starchy vegetables. Not cured but was able to stop taking pain meds after 13 years.

My bursitis came on simultaneously with piriformis syndrome (not surprising) after spending hours behind the wheel every day for work (ironically doing equine body work). As well as the pillow between the knees, I've found that creating that Goldilocks not-too-hard, not-too-soft mattress surface helps too. I love to use my Derma Edge in a hot bathtub before bed to get those muscles relaxed a little prior to sleep. I'm still having flare ups, though, so I'm looking forward to trying these exercises.

Hi just found your channel. Love your explanation of this horrible pain. First found out 2011 I could barely walk let alone work. Getting in and out of a car was excruciating! I was a checker for 15 years and the back n forth of this 8 hours a day did me in. Finally retired and the pain went away until now 4 yrs later. Taking care of my new grand baby and I'm guessing rocking her as I stood and sitting as you said with my legs crossed did me in. I'm an avid exerciser just started rowing last year and it's been great for my knees and hips until...yep...baby sitting. lol So back to taking meloxicam that's how painful it's become again. So I'm back to rowing and looking for ways to exercise and heal once more and rid of the pain. I'll be doing your workout and see if it helps, certainly can't hurt.

Mu right hip, glute, hip flexor have been all jacked up, tight and weak. It's a fight and it is horrible nor being able to walk, but hobble in pain. I hope you get help soon.

Why is there not one picture on the internet of the swelling that TB can cause? I have a baseball on my hip some days. Makes me feel like I am the only person that has this bursitis.

Thank you for showing, I get the same horrible pain from truck driving, constant use of left and right legs for shifting gears. Stiff clutch doesn’t help either. I already do some of these from my healer kinesiologist girl but you have some more. By the way this was a most pleasant video watch! New subscriber right now!

[@kathytelan]

I will certainly try this. I have debilitating menopause. I also have HYPERthyroidism which makes hip pain so much worse. I have bilateral hip pain now, used to be only the R side. Pain being a deterrent, I was barely moving. Now, it’s both hips. 😩😢😭

[@drkristieennis]

I’m sorry:( check out these videos too. Inflammation can increase during menopause for a variety of reasons. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqi2inmnYpyIZtksi=gdyi0x7x7qKnRtJB kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXyvi2mafLungsUsi=0_3ePdctR3ZG1BPu kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmPSgGWKl99_q9Usi=7443yewxAkIuRaS6

I’m in PT now for hip bursitis and he has me doing two of the stretches you said NOT to do. It’s all so confusing! Love the cutting sugar idea though. I will try it and see if it helps. Thanks

I can't find any videos for what to do with hip bursitis in both hips. Especially sleeping positions. Don't say back. I can't do that. I have been doing exercises for hips for a few years. They do feel better but still are sore, especially when sleeping. Help. I use a type of double wedge pillow and that helps, but when I travel, I Don't get any sleep because I can't bring special pillow with me. I now take Advil to help with pain.

[@anndarling9102]

I have had pain in my right hip and bollom of the spaine i try everything from osteopath and acterpute to a person trainer and physio nothing was working in more pain in the end i had to have a mri scan that was really emotional because i have panic attacks and it showed ware and tear of lots of circle training now i have had start again so i am going to try one of your exercise on the bed 🛌.😮

[@Roxy0405]

I had hip bursitis in my left hip years ago. Very painful! It took a long time to be resolved.

[@drkristieennis]

Hope you don’t have it again! Make sure to work on strengthening hips:) check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ3Xm3qBd52dac0

[@LoveWins266]

I can't sleep or lay on either side or hips. Those places on both my legs you pointed out hurt too. I've been sleeping in a recliner for 4 years. I'm 58 years old now. Hoping to see an orthopedic soon. I'm hoping they know about all this and how to help me.

[@girish1955]

Thank you so very much for this. What changes to this routine are necessary if both the right and left side are in pain?

[@drkristieennis]

You’re welcome! I would typically have my patients use the same techniques. It is somewhat uncommon to have bursitis on both sides though so definitely make sure that’s what it is.

[@bridgetplunkett7630]

Me too.but much worse on one side.

[@bridgetplunkett7630]

Yes left side too. I've given up sugar to try and curb the inflammation. I took 2 courses of anti inflammatories. They helped but will not fix the problem. Best of luck to you.

[@mcbella7769]

i havd bone on bone hip joint ostheoarthritis .....i cant stand up alone with left leg does that exercise work?

[@dianadee4300]

What do you do with hip bursitis after a "nail and screw" trochanter/femur repair after a fall when the doctors are giving opposing advice? Surgeon said NO IT band stretching.....PT wanted me to get a 2nd opinion before continuing to see me which took 6 months (thanks to Desert Oasis insurance group under Blue Shield). 2nd opinion doc said she disagreed and I NEED to stretch it. No one has done any soft tissue tests to see why my hip is "clunking" with certain movements. It has now been a year, which is what they told me the healing time was, and I am nowhere close to "healed" and back to full mobility. I am active daily in caring for my quadriplegic partner and am walking about the house most of the day (just did my first out in nature walk yesterday with a walking stick), so I don't feel that I have been languishing letting the muscles get weak.

[@tinapeterson2240]

So how long does it take to feel better? I’m 47 it’s been 3 weeks. Should I go to doctor?

[@LithiumFlowerr]

Seek all help that’s within your means. I’ve had it for over 8 months, it’s chronic now and impacting my life so much it’s hard to not feel depressed. Can’t properly play with my kids, exercise, walk properly, sleep properly, etc.

What are the symptoms of bursitis? I have no idea if I have it, however your message idea worked well for me.

[@daiseycollazo4927]

All those excercises are the ones my therapist said to avoid with my hip bursitis. He said especially the side leg lift ones. I’m confused.

[@shannonkolb5296]

Is this mistaken for piriformis syndrome and if so how do I know the difference?

[@TwoCatsUp]

This is perfect for me right now, as I've been dealing with this condition for months, since last summer. But let me ask about your mattress. I see that it is quite firm. My mattress is less than 3 yrs old and still good, but I wonder if I may need something better, such as the one you have. I wonder if my mattress may have contributed to my condition. I'd love to have your input on this. Very beneficial video and wisdom, esp. the "Don't Stretch It!" idea. It's just good to have this reinforced as our inclination is often to stretch something that hurts. One more thing: would you incorporate an ice pack into your routine for treating hip bursitis?

[@SusanDayz3912]

Is it normal to need a cane often? I also have fibromyalgia. The bursitis bothers the IT band (at least that's what I've been told) so my whole leg is a problem. I'm 43 and I guess my concern is that my grandpa had a leg amputation due to atherosclerosis at 50.
