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

[@texasstardust6010]

...This is so helpful, ...I have had issues with both my left side and right side, since not being able to be as active as I was,during the past 2 years. ... the way you explained how to not create more discomfort is something that I'm sure helps so many. Thank you so much, Dr. Ennis. ( I am in my late 60's, and have had an injury to my Piriformis , so those " attachments " often are painful). 🙂😊🙏🏻

[@suzanneadamson1306]

Wow. Valuable advice. Thank you, Dr Kristie.

Hi, you helped me so much this morning, this hip pain just started, so!! I’ll be doing all of these starting today, thanks so much linda

[@kerryswier4173]

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!

[@carolineindacityphx]

Thank you for these tips. It is helping tremendously.

[@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.

[@kellyspann9845]

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.

I'm so glad I found you. You pointed to the exact area that hurts on me. Only I have it on both sides. I'm pretty sure it is due to sitting for too many hours. But I did go to PT and Chrio. I remember the Bridge exercise. Should I bet getting up every 20 min to stand up from my old office chair? I can't walk very far without feeling the pain on my upper thighs. I'm 68 and I guess I need to move my body more. And how do I find my way back to you? I did subscribe.

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. I'll try anything, I like your video and how you presented yourself and your teachings. Thank you

[@patriciasalem3606]

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.

[@user-bw6fo4er9s]

Thank you so much for this information video. I had hip replacement surgery just over a month ago, and I have a lot of pain in that exact area. I didn't know what was causing it, and was worried it might be the wound infected under the skin or that I might have done some damage. Your explanations are just perfect. Especially the don'ts. I will now not worry and continue with exercising.

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!

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?

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.

For more consistent audio volume, I'd use Audacity with the following tools and settings: 1. Effects - Normalize Remove DC offset: checked Normalize peak amplitude: checked. Set to -3 dB Normalize setero channels independently: not checked 2. Effects - Compressor Threshold: -17 dB Noise floor: -50 dB Ratio: 8.1:1 Attack time: 0.10 secs Release time: 1.0 secs Make-up gain: not checked Compress based on peaks: checked I treat my audio in the following order: - normalize - compress - normalize Yes, normalize is used twice. You (or your editor) will understand why while applying it. PS: thanks a lot for the videos you make!

I'm saying, at some moments, I can barely hear her. I offered a technical measure to make sound more consistent (hearing it at the same level no matter how she turns her head away from the MIC).

[@cfree5499]

Omg. Everything you said not to do, I realize that I do every day. Thank you❤ Also, is this why my legs have been hurting so much?

[@drkristieennis]

You're so welcome! And it could be:)

[@romanomoller]

❤ thank you

[@drkristieennis]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@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.

[@jerseygangel]

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.

I have done some of those exorcises. I should get back into them. Thxs Dr. Enis

I notice with the bonus advanced side plank that you swapped sides on the ground. So our "bad" side is closest to the floor. Correct?

[@mariamarino138]

Seven years ago, I started having, outer thigh pain, I was referred to a neurologist and was told I had, “maralgia paresthetica,” well, I didn’t, and seven years later, I’m having stabbing pain( severe) burning, tightness and constant pain! I use lidocaine patches at night, and use ice during the day! I’ve been to several doctors, who just say, “ no surgery necessary,” and send me to PT! Each time I did PT, I was in even more pain! I can’t walk much or stand OR sit for too long, otherwise, I’ll pay the price😞 The pain is debilitating, and don’t know what to do!!!!😞

[@drkristieennis]

I’m sorry:( that sounds very frustrating! Have you had your bank checked out or any imaging studies on your hip?

[@esthermedina9770]

try acupuncture it can help, good luck!

[@mariamarino138]

@@drkristieennis have had many MRI’s done! Now the pain is SEVERE, constant pins and needles around the hip and outside of thigh, burning, and some shocks at the hip.

[@ea2620]

I had something like and it was super tight glutes and periformis not working properly , what really helped me was acupuncture, osteopath and proper stretching with physiotherapy therapy doing fascial strech

[@katdunn7934]

​@@mariamarino138that sounds like pinched nerves. EMG done recently? I'm in same boat lots of pain right hip and front thigh. Pins and needles feet ans sometimes up hip. Feels cold prickling. I am currently seeing neurologist who has PT setup in his office. It is so painful, so hard to walk. I've had traction done and some strengthening exercises that tweeked me so bad I had to cancel several sessions. My doctor just put me on steroid pack for 6 days 3 pills a day. Then Naprosyn. I won't do that Naprosyn since it's kniwn to cause ulcers at amy given time. I already have GERD, so I may take my Meloxicam again since most swelling is down. I return Tuesday for more pt. 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.

[@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.

[@rammurti3110]

Sir please suggest exercise or medicine to treat right side femail groin bursitis (iliopsoas bursitis)

[@user-nk7ec2dv5r]

I have bursitis and I.T. band syndrome for about 8-10 yrs. Done PT lots of times. Getting cortisone shots now. I will try these exercises...good for I.T. band too or is that the same thing? A few of them I actually do now.

[@LaraOlsonUSA]

Cool running shorts! Brand?

[@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.

[@hectorgarcia8691]

Sitting is a killer trigger for hip issues

[@drkristieennis]

Definitely!

[@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.
