Not in the hips, but the bursa in both shoulders from injuries. When it flares up, I can barely move my arms above waist height without serious pain. I've learned to avoid those things that can lead to flare ups. In terms of cycling, it took we a while to learn that 44mm handlebars (measured center to center) is wide enough to trigger a flare up when on a ride over 2 hours. However, 44mm outside to outside is not a problem.... a very small difference with very big impact. Normally, I've been told, it is particular motion/activities that tends to cause flare ups. If you can isolate it and learn to moderate your activities/motions, you can often avoid the acute flare ups. Knock on wood; I've been without an acute flare up for several years now.
