What Is Hip Bursitis? Symptoms & Diagnosis

[@russellpowder66]

Thank you Doc, I could barely walk with the pain. I am on my road to recovery, because of you. Take care.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

[@anncarey5046]

I started your Hip Bursitis exercises a few days ago and WOW it calmed the pain down completely during the day, and some at night too. I will continue to do these to completely heal. Your awesome as other clam shells from other peoples videos made my pain worst. I had to lean forward as my Bursitis is really bad. Your a real blessing. Thank you!

[@brandywisdom6342]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am 45 and was diagnosed with hip bursitis in my 20s! They didn't explain it to me at all and just told me it was like arthritis. I wish I had seen your video back then. I will start all of the exercises you show in the other video and fix the way I walk. Fingers crossed that I saw your video in time before arthritis sets in, because I'm in tons of pain! Thank you again!

Very good Video probably the most comprehensive in terms of Causes and Effects and Explanations I have ever seen...I have been dealing with Hip Bursitis as diagnosed by an Orthopedic Surgeon up here in Toronto a couple of years ago but he just gave me a Cortisone Shot and kinda didn't do anything else so I am taking it upon myself to see it I can get this solved through Physical Therapy...Thank you a million Dr David...!!!

[@carolecoffman4276]

I have arthritis in both hips, knees and bilateral bursitis for many years. About 15 yrs at least.. I have arthritis in my entire spine, SI joints, and all my other pelvic joints.. Had injections multiple times..It has gotten better since my right hip was replaced.. Also have lots of spurs in all joints.. I already do some of the exercises you showed in your other video but need to make some adjustments… One thing that didn’t help me was having a desk job for 20 yrs with long periods of sitting..

[@barbarahamme2760]

Thanks for this. I had a stroke 2 years ago, and have a very uneven gait, as a result, which I think has contributed to my recent hip pain/ bursitis. I used to do barre exercises regularly and was very fit and active. Since December I’ve been doing modified barre exercises with a trainer/PT. I have pain particularly at night at left hip, for2-3 weeks. Will try your helpful exercises seen on another of your videos. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

[@Mom-tk9rz]

Try an upper cervical chiropractor. Blair method. Look it up. Your atlas axis is mispositioned most likely. It will change leg length & eliminate the attacks. Adjustment feels like nothing.

Video very helpful! I have mild arthritis but had a very good desk chair for a few years "Connection Workwell" and was pain free, but we moved to new office and the desk chair wasn't good quality and l immediately had pain and also think l have hip bursitis. I've had a desk job for over 35 years. Noticing now that l can't sit for long without pain at a desk chair that doesn't have adequate cushioning!! I'm doing your exercises now so hopefully that will help. Any tips about best desk chairs to get would be appreciated. Many thanks!!

[@paulwesterliind4734]

Thanks for the video it explained the problem nicely. I had col laser therapy it help ease the pain while I did the exercises to correct the pain. It has been fine for several years and started up after a weeks vacation in a rental that had three floors I have lived in a one story house for 15 years so the stress of that many stairs did a number on me.

Can labral tear cause hip bursitis? And is that something to worry about or should be a reason to stop workouts/yoga? I’m not doing surgery at this time.

[@ellycyr4924]

Thanks doctor

[@lindastall4461]

Hi and thank you for these great videos. I saw a physiotherapist this week . The doctor told me I had hip bursitis. This was his 2nd diagnosis. He originally said it was osteo arthritis. I had and accident falling down some icy stairs when I was pregnant 40 years ago andwas diagnosed with bursitis at the time. Since a year and a half it's come back after doing perhaps too much. The physio td me that it was both the bursitis 20% & bursitis 80%. It goes from the hip and sometimes down to my knee and a lot in the groin. He told me that I should get infiltrations of cortisone and then come back to see him as there is too much inflammation right now. Because I have both of these, I am somewhat at loss of how to treat it exercise wise. I really don't like the idea of injections or surgery. I swim and walk right now.

[@linj4650]

Hi there :) I'm about to start your exercises for hip bursitis after reading the wonderful comments! My question to you today is, do you have any advice or exercises for compression fracture on the spine, I get a LOT of pain mid back that radiates around to my right mid rib cage. Especially after doing a little housework. Ive had this for a long time now and at 60yrs it seems to be taking an awful long time to heal. It's been a couple of years already! Pain killers are not helping so I stopped taking them. Any advice or exercise, stretching maybe, would be deeply appreciated. It really is making my life a misery and im desperate right now. Thank you for your awesome videos!!

[@trishpayne410]

Great. I'm trying it. But it bothers me more at nite on both sides and if I sleep on my back I have mild sleep apnea. What do I do?

[@Imgodslonleyman]

[@johnsharpe6411]

I developed hip bursitis after a patellar tendon rupture. I would typically sit with my injured leg elevated (~45-50 degrees) most of the day. The bursitis would flair up in hip joints during the night while lying flat and be quite severe at times, with very noticeable swelling on both hips. I have to assume it is the elevated position that is causing the issue, though it is all very baffling since I was a avid runner before my injury with no history of hip issues.

[@naushfit]

I have had the pain for 10 years on my left side hip. And now it’s gotten worse! And even the right side hip hurts in 2024. I am a fitness trainer and I don’t know what I am doing wrong that has aggravated this. I am now is a lot of pain in my both sides of my hip especially the left side. I just got an ultrasound and xray yesterday. Waiting for the results. I am being seen by a sport physiatrist.

[@logicstrobe8488]

How’s your hip

[@protozoana]

You are fantastic! Just want to ask you one question. I’m following this ballerina workout. All the plies and degajes. Can I continue doing it or if a have a bursitis condition it harms me. Thank you

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey there, great question! These types of motions can actually be performed with the glutes. If you can use the glutes effectively during these motions, then they can be good to help take pressure off the painful area. In the short-term, it may be a good idea to rest a little more.

[@protozoana]

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you so much, good advice, will try to follow it

[@rodasuyo288]

Thank you, Dr. Mennef to clarify how this pain starts up. Do you have some exercises to get up and down the stairs?

Hey Roda Suyo, you're welcome! Yes we do have a video covering stairs: "How To Instantly Fix Knee Pain When Going Up & Down Stairs" kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4unhqitiKl-nKs The advice in this video will make you use your hip muscles correctly and should help hip bursitis too.

I think this is what I have been experiencing for quite a while. I've thought it very odd that I can run/jog 3+ miles without any problems, but if I try walking, my outer hip. low back, and glute starts hurting in about a 1/4 mile. I'm hoping I can find some relief.

Hi doc, its not clear whats wrong with me at present but the pain is so overwhelming. I cant lift my leg to the front but i can lift to the back. I cant stand wit my foot flat on the ground as a result i walk with 1 leg using crutches.

[@tokkieandrews9988]

Doctor does hip bursitis also cause excruciating cramps in the thigh and groin ,and what can a person do to prevent the cramps .

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Tokkie! The hip bursitis can often occur due to overuse of the surrounding muscles. If you have overused the muscles of your thigh, then it is very likely that this is causing your cramps. It would be a great idea to try and incorporate your glutes more often into your normal life!

[@sheilasmith1109]

Question for the Doctor!! Can a SEVERE BUNION, that's affecting the toes and Metatarsals and a 50+year old Peroneal tendon tear in the ankle CREATE enough of a MUSCULAR IMBALANCE, to actually CAUSE HIP BURSITIS? I'm starting from the beginning, to better understand WHY this is happening to me. Can STIFF PERSON SYNDROME cause muscle cramps that can TEAR TENDON from the bone? This is what I think happened to me!

[@christinedin8515]

well i am done for as my pain started in hip and lower back nearly 20 year ago ,the first doctor said it was a hip problem as he could not turn my hip on the couch ,a exray did not show anything ,the pain gets worse with walking and standing and resting used to improve this ,years later a different doctor blamed it all on lower back facet joint arthritis ,about 17 year later i now get severe pain if i lay straight on my back and not side for around 20 min same with sitting on a chair i cant sit back slightly or i end up screaming ,i have had plantar facilitis a few times and now my knee is going ,i had left shoulder pain at age 17 onwards if doing any work that involves having my arm above my waist ,ii have neck pain getting worse not allowed any xray or scan i get offered no treatment or benefits ,i gave up work for around 15 years ,

My bursitis came with avengence after I walked on a treadmill (lowest speed no incline). Shall I keep walking on it or just stick to excersise? No pain no gain😁

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey sorry to hear about your bursitis coming back Beryl :-( Definitely stop walking for exercise. "No pain, no gain" will get you in trouble in this situation. You've got to start doing exercise that isolates the glutes without aggravating the problem.

how do u fix frozen shoulder?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Great question jackychannel! Very slowly is the best answer -> there's a few things to do exercise and manual therapy wise, but it's mostly a waiting game for the shoulder joint to "thaw". I'll add this topic to the request list for Dr. David, maybe he can make a video about it.

[@carolsueblackwood2053]

Is there a way to correct rolled shoulder's?

[@Madame686]

Ok I really want to know if I have hip bursitis. I have stiffness on the outer side of hip in the right leg. Basically on the joint. It seems so I don’t know it technically, but my outer thigh and outer hip. It’s not red, it’s not swelled. The skin is tight and hard and stiff. So when I walk I have to limp a bit. Is this bursitis ? I got pain and numbness in leg and shock like feeling like sciatica. I’m so confused. I had overused my legs. Manual Sewing machine, carrying chairs two floors up. MRI shows disc bulge. L5 S1 and they are treating me for it but I seriously feel it’s hip bursitis. It’s been three months already but my hip thigh inflammation and hardness hasn’t gone at all. And now it feels as if my other leg also have slight stiffness around same area as I used it more than the right one😢 I don’t have pain every time but the stuff rs and hardness is there all the time 😢

[@RobertR3750]

Nice video, but it gives me very little hope that my bursitis can be solved. I desperately want to sleep on my left side, because sleeping on my back is very uncomfortable. However, I have not been able to sleep on my left side for 13 years because of an inflamed bursa. I have tried medications, including injection into the bursa, and THEY DO NOT WORK. My GP never recommended physical therapy, and he dismissed surgery as ineffective. So where does that leave me???

[@joanharris8057]

I have to sleep on my left side with a pillow between my legs to keep my hips level. Don't sleep well, but at least I don't have severe pain trying to get out of bed.
