Has anyone here dealt with Trochanteric bursitis hip pain? If so, how did you solve the issue?

If you've been diagnosed, did your doctor not describe various exercises and strengthening that might help the condition, in your case?

Here are some sources that might assist:

• Bursitis - Diseases and Conditions - Mayo Clinic
• Trochanteric Bursitis @ Cleveland Clinic
• Stretching & strengthening exercises for trocherantic (hip) bursitis @ Summit Medical Group

Myself, I have had pains in the hips for some years now. Many of those exercises listed on the SMG web site have helped, at least in my case.

Thanks it also might be my psoas, hip flexor

I have it continuously - from a 40 year old injury.

I do a lot of prescribed stretching and strengthening from the PT, take Mobic, and try not to do things that irritate it. If irritated, it hurts like double heck. There are things I cannot do any more - vacuuming, being one, and any task involving side-to-side motion So, we hire out the vacuuming - as the wife has osteo and can't do it either.

However, I can bicycle for literally hours with absolutely no problems, and I can hike, also and swim with no problems.

Strange. I live with it and am learning to adjust my activities.

While recovering from a Fx of the neck of my left femur, I had some pain around this bursa.

It was scar tissue, adhesions, and some ITB problems.
To get relief, the remedy is lots of ice, some simple yoga, and rolling out the TFL & ITB with a cylinder.

The scar tissue will break up faster by rolling out these structures. I used a 2.5" diameter vitamin bottle to roll while standing up.

I roll on a 6" dense foam 3 foot long cylinder - whole body weight on the floor. IT Band, lower quads, butt muscle/piriformis. There are a lot of various stretches one can do. Band walking for strengthening, body squats with about 10 pounds on the flat side of a BOSU ball.

I thought I had bursitis. Doc said no way. I'm having hip replacement surgery in Septermber.
