6 to 8 months? I wish I had been so lucky. After 30+ years in retail, and during a 6 year period doing Price Change at Home Depot where I was required to walk all over the store, climb ladders and get down on the floor, I developed Trochanteric Bursitis in my right hip. I dealt with the pain my 5th year at Home Depot until I couldn't get up off the floor after doing lower shelf price changes. I was on my knees in hardware crying like a 2 year old because of the intense pain that I could only describe as being jabbed with a hot poker between my hip and leg joint. I had never heard of bursitis before going to the ER later that day. It's manageable to some degree. I don't baby my hip or push it beyond it's limits. And my right hip can predict rain 5 days out lol. Rain and cold weather seem to make it worse, but ibuprofen or naproxen keeps me moving on the days that it acts up. Staying well hydrated helps too. I'm almost 51, diagnosed in 2015, and still going strong.
I fell out of one of my tucks at work and onto the metal steps of another truck three years ago. I have been in so much pain and find it difficult to sit and lay comfortably. I just recently started physical therapy and I am hoping that will take care of it.
I have greater trochantric bursaes on both hips, cant lie on my sides also can't have anyone touching the side, I'm getting more pain now in work mainly it nearly has me in tears, having steroid injection tomorrow(dreading it as I know they'll have to touch my leg
I've been suffering for nearly 10 years with it, having flare ups every few months. Having a bad one now, I can't even lift my leg to walk up stairs. Going to discuss a steroid injection tomorrow with my doctors . The pain is horrendous
Same, I've had greater trochantric bursaes on both hips/thighs also fibromialga going for steroidbinjection tomorrow, dreading it as I knownits gunna hurt so much, I can't cope with anyone touching my thighs, goodluck.
@@quetha26 hey , had my injection and no pain since!! Amazing. Feel like a new person. Oh and it didn't hurt! Tiny pinch if that when it went in. I'll have to get it again in a few months but not worried at all. My bum/thigh ached a bit for a while after but Amazing results! Xx
Been dealing with it for 15 years. My treatment started out with anti-inflammatory medication, then physical therapy, then steroid shots. I've had two shots, the first one lasted about 2 1/2 months and the second one lasted about 6 weeks. I've tried all the stretching and strengthing exercises. Still dealing with the pain after 15 years. It limits what activities I can do. I can't imagine the freedom I would feel if the pain finally went away. UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 2023: Ortho doctor said I need a full hip replacement. Said it would fix the pain permanently. I have been researching hip replacement surgery and talking with people who had it done. Will seriously consider since I am now having pain in both hips.
This scares me so much. I've had the pain for 6 months now, and got a steroid shot which helped for 2 months, but the pain is back now. I've been doing all the physio exercises assigned to me, am fairly fit and active, maintain a healthy lifestyle. But it's just not improving.
Ugh. Pretty much echoing your comment. Mine started 5 months ago (never ever had this before) 33, very fit and played sports my whole life. Went 3 months of PT/trying to return to working out. Way too much pain. Finally did an injection. 6 weeks later the pain is creeping back. I refuse to sit out from working out or activities I love again so I don't know what I'm gonna do other than constant ice, heat, recovery tools and massages and hopefully another steroid injection when my sports ortho allows it.
JR Jones; I feel ya man. Mine came about after a hip replacement. I used to work as a physical therapy aide. The best piece of equipment for bursitis is something called a TENS unit. There’s numerous videos on here about how to use it. It’s transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. It’s been a game changer for me! It breaks up the pain signals and massages the area. It feels tingly. You can use it up to 4-5 times a day. I work out extensively, so my bursitis flares up regularly. Ice and tens have been the only thing that has helped me. Also, I don’t eat inflammatory foods like sugar, dairy, meat and trans fats. My stomach cannot tolerate NSAIDS anymore either. So I had to go at it from another angle. Hope this helps and that you find relief.
@@jackiee9014 I totally understand the first thing they will say is your young and fit but with my experience push for a MRI so they can take your issue more seriously and just running alone can cause a flare up as well as walking up and down stairs, injections are good only for so long bc in the long run what they don’t tell you is the shots actually makes it worse especially if you’ve been getting them for years like myself, I’ll update my MRI results when I get them and don’t trust the X-ray bc mine never showed anything but a messed up pelvis 😂instead of the actual hip 😅
Same here, took 2years to have it confirmed, they kept saying it can’t be that it’s quite rare! Had to change jobs as was walking thousands of steps daily ( that was the cause) but still suffering years later, had the jabs, the anti inflammatorys, the physical therapy can’t lean or lay on that hip even now! There’s a definite bulge on the affected hip , It sucks, been in pain for years with it 😢
Wow this is the first real information I've gotten about my horrific left hip. 6-8 months? I wish, still suffering 6-8 YEARS. I love crossing my left leg when sitting and will stop this immediately. I am convinced my weak abdominals and lower back pain resulted in this PAIN. I will search for exercises to relieve the pain and strengthen the muscles that support the hip. I found the one with the tennis ball to place on my hip area and rotate against a wall and that stretching is futile. I've had a lumbar epidural which did nothing. Then a shot into my hip which was wonderful but only lasted about 45 days. I know where it originated, for years sleeping on my left side on a small sofa which restricted my movements. Now I'm paying the price. Why hasn't my rheumatologist or pain doctor ever mentioned that I have BURSITIS which sounds much easier to resolve instead of a hip replacement! Never once has any doctors done these simple tests.
Get an Ultrasound diagnostic test of the trochanter area of the hip. Ask your doctor for a referral to an orthopaedic specialist who does Arthroscopic surgery. Specialists can remove the scar tissue from the bursa and tendons attached to the hip and femur bones. They can also surgically remove the bursa.
I'm 26 too and oof recently got several unpleasant diagnosis, from facet arthropathy, disc desiccation, left foraminal stenosis, and today learning I've got weakness in both my feet, and a numb left foot. Then I go in and get a surprise, told I've also got bilateral trochanteric bursitis and bilateral ischial bursitis. 10 years of complaints and pains, and the Doctor told me that I probably have fibromyalgia cause my sensitivity/symptoms aren't explainable. He sent me to Pain Management which I meet with soon, but he told me to avoid the cortisone injections cause something about long term it'll make things worse. When I say I feel your pain I absolutely feel. Being young with chronic pain is so horrible.
36 and I've been struggling with pain in my hips, started with the left and lower back and then moved to the right. Nothing shows on X- rays, MRIs, blood tests. Getting worse with time with flare ups and sporadic pain seizures. Tried many different types of anti inflammatory pills + muscle relaxers + steroid pills and now i am on antidepressants for a suspended fibermyalgia (but no one knows really if that's the right diagnosis) and finally took two steroid injections. It sucks to have this condition. Mentioning that i am in a good shape, i stretch and an active woman.
Thank you for this information! I’ve been in pain for 3 years. I’ve tried physical therapy, anti inflammatory meds, steroid injections… nothing worked. I take Tylenol Arthritis and Voltran cream seldomly. I’m getting a MRI to confirm the diagnosis. I’m sick of this pain.
I've had this for a couple of years now. Started when I had shingles. The pain now is similar to that when I had shingles. The pain runs down my hip to my knee, across my lower back and into the front of my thigh, sometimes goes across my buttock. I've had several hip cortisone injections. The first one helped, this second one hasn't. I also have fibromyalgia and this is surely making my pain worse.
I've dealt with this since 2016, several injections, didn't help. Can't take NSAIDS , my neurologist said to contact my orthopedic surgeon and talk about a bursectomy
@@susancrowe142good Luck I Hope you become pain free and get your life back I got bursites from exercise hip abduction it s been almost a month since i got injured m very concerned about it as i read that patients live with it , it wont go away
I've had this for a couple of years. The only thing I have found that keeps the pain at bay is Aleve every 12 hours, religiously. I've done injections, first one helped a little. The second caused so much pain that I won't do it again. PT helped some but that just results in bills I can't afford.
I was doing kick boxing I felt a rip in my hip. It finds out I ripped my bursa. It been getting worse since. I have gotten shots which didn't seem to work. Taking pain med like ibuprofen sometimes alive. I exercise to strengthen my muscles and I ice to help with inflammation. I feel like it's never going to get better.
I'm sure I had/have this, however over the last few months it seems to be moving up into my lower right abdominal quadrant dorsally. I'm an aging disc golfer and apply a lot of torsion to my right hip and upper torso. I recently suffered from a horrible bout of bursitis/tendinitis in my right elbow after a tournament last November. I also suffer from plantirs facitis in my right heel. What could be going on?
Its 20 days since i started this pain on right hip. The pain was caused by doing box jumps and Bulgarian split squats. I used to do this exercises every 2 to 3 times a week but before having this pain i was away from exercise for 1 month. So doing this exercises after 1 month caused me this pain. First 2 to 3 days after this exercise i couldn't walk properly could feel pain even im lying position. But after 1 week there was no pain while resting or sleeping position, could walk properly. But i thought i am recovering so started walking again and doing hip pain exercises suggested by many TH-cam doctors, I noticed pain coming back. Then again for 3- 4 daysi rested, again pain gone. But this time i thought pain is gone completely now and i have recovered, so i started walking and doing exercises like lunges and squats, and that night i felt extreme pain. But i slept and woke up with reduced pain. So since then i have stopped any activities for last 3-4 days. How long should i continue to rest and stop doing physical activities so i could recover. This video says its takes 9 months to recover. That's too much. I am 23 year old male.
Hi everyone. Trochanter major pain syndrome is often misdiagnosed by doctors for bursitis in the same region. Make sure to visit a physio when you have type of problems in that area.
I just learned what is wrong with me. I've been having this pain for a year now not knowing what is wrong with me. Everytome I play hockey it feels like my femur is going to snap. Going to go get a shot hopefully. Fingers crossed that it fixes it
If your over 60 which I am, I got this from taking PPI for acid reflux, as soon as I stop taking it, it all went away. I suffered for 4 months while on this and didn't know what was going on, I went to a pain management doctor and she injected cortisone with a long needle and it started going away but came right back cause I hadn't stopped the ppI yet. Since going off of them I no long have Trochanteric Bursitis. Completely gone and no sign of having it.
Are there different forms of trochanteric bursitis? Mine has been around for a decade - started as a mild pain when getting out of the car after sitting on a long journey, but has now progressed to pain when getting up from any time seated, for the first few minutes of walking, and when lying in bed at night. I'm going to try an ultrasound guided cortisone injection because I don't tolerate oral painkillers though at night they're the only thing that really helps. I recently watched a video by a physiotherapist who advised being very careful about the type of exercises you do - ie no lateral leg raises or clam movements when lying down.
Taht was so useful. I suffer from this and my doctor will not offer me any of the treatments you speak of. I'm not sure how to change this situation btu this video will, I hope, help me to do so.
I'm pretty sure I developed trochanteric bursitis after taking some medications for a year. I don't know which one to blame, but I suspect it could be amlodipine or ezetimibe. Any idea?
@@Melanie-ix4nqNo PPI, only amlodipine, ezetimibe taken for a year, and carvedilol for half a year. If it took more than a year to develop, then also statins and ARBs become suspects.
@@ElementaryWatson-123 Yeah, statins have that side effect. Muscle pain, I can't take statins at all, I tried the ezetimibe for month and it cause too much urine retention, so I stopped it.
I've had it for six months but the pain is in an odd place from the groin across to the upper buttock and God damn I'm close to ordering barbituates off the internet to end everything. My appointment to get my injection keeps getting canceled and don't feel like anyone's taking me seriously, my family doesn't understand and just keeps piling on the responsibilities and house hold chores. I haven't worked for ages and I can hardly do my studies and my debt repayments keep piling up. I haven't lived a happy or fullfilling life, I haven't accomplished anything I wanted to, but I don't want to be in this pain anymore that I can't eat or sleep or do anything id rather die if a doctor won't help me soon
i thought i had found whats wrong with me but i have a huge amount of swelling. this is the second time my hip has swelled up like this after falling on my hip skateboarding. how did it get infected?? there isnt a cut or any way for infection to get in
I had an injection, hurt so badly that kinda screamed , felt like it hit a nerve.. pain that evening anfor the next 30 -40 hpurs was excruciating. Then subsided and had improved 70 % for abput 3 weeks.. coming back , now after about 2 or 3 m9nths back to square one.. sleep very interupted.. work not easy as sitting is almost impossible and difficult to exercise as what can ypu do which doesnt involve your hip!???
It's like a broken bone and you have to fix it with your hand and it comes back again and you fix it with your hand Every single fucking minute. I have been suffering from it for 3 years now. I'm doing exercises to see how it goes.
I had an Xray done about a year ago which confirmed Trochanteric Bursitis. I took the steroid shot and it felt it better for a while, but it recently came back. As an active middle-aged man, I'd say it's likely from certain activities. This time however I have a pretty big rash. Is this common and is it likely due to an infection? I'd be interested in knowing how this happens.
What doctor specialty could help in diagnosing if there's an underlying (kidney?) infection causing the trochanteric bursitis, especially if on the left-side?
I liked all of the video except the end when you said that it can take 6 to 9 months or longer to fully recover from trochanteric bursitis. Please reduce this time! Thanks.

@@Melanie-ix4nqNo PPI, only amlodipine, ezetimibe taken for a year, and carvedilol for half a year. If it took more than a year to develop, then also statins and ARBs become suspects.
@@ElementaryWatson-123 Yeah, statins have that side effect. Muscle pain, I can't take statins at all, I tried the ezetimibe for month and it cause too much urine retention, so I stopped it.
I've had it for six months but the pain is in an odd place from the groin across to the upper buttock and God damn I'm close to ordering barbituates off the internet to end everything. My appointment to get my injection keeps getting canceled and don't feel like anyone's taking me seriously, my family doesn't understand and just keeps piling on the responsibilities and house hold chores. I haven't worked for ages and I can hardly do my studies and my debt repayments keep piling up. I haven't lived a happy or fullfilling life, I haven't accomplished anything I wanted to, but I don't want to be in this pain anymore that I can't eat or sleep or do anything id rather die if a doctor won't help me soon
Make appointment with orthopedic dr
You need a orthopedic doctor or go to you nearest emergency room they will give you a steroid shot 😅
Hope you are doing better. Sounds like more is going on. Not just the physical pain.
i thought i had found whats wrong with me but i have a huge amount of swelling. this is the second time my hip has swelled up like this after falling on my hip skateboarding. how did it get infected?? there isnt a cut or any way for infection to get in
Very helpful. Thank you
Thanks. Very informative.
Appreciate it!
Systematic explanation!!♥️
Thanks!
I had an injection, hurt so badly that kinda screamed , felt like it hit a nerve.. pain that evening anfor the next 30 -40 hpurs was excruciating. Then subsided and had improved 70 % for abput 3 weeks.. coming back , now after about 2 or 3 m9nths back to square one.. sleep very interupted.. work not easy as sitting is almost impossible and difficult to exercise as what can ypu do which doesnt involve your hip!???
Did you have your injection done with ultrasound guidance? Surely they couldn't know where to inject if they went in blind?
why so long 6-9 months to recover? Should one take NSAIDS so long ? which non-invasive treatment method can absorb the synovial fluid the best?Thanks
Is it possible to have it as a teenager?
It's like a broken bone and you have to fix it with your hand and it comes back again and you fix it with your hand Every single fucking minute.
I have been suffering from it for 3 years now.
I'm doing exercises to see how it goes.
I had an Xray done about a year ago which confirmed Trochanteric Bursitis. I took the steroid shot and it felt it better for a while, but it recently came back. As an active middle-aged man, I'd say it's likely from certain activities. This time however I have a pretty big rash. Is this common and is it likely due to an infection? I'd be interested in knowing how this happens.
good, but, any exercises
What doctor specialty could help in diagnosing if there's an underlying (kidney?) infection causing the trochanteric bursitis, especially if on the left-side?
Are these related? I'd love to know.
U have just had a left kidney procedure to repair a chronuc issue, and also have this hip pain. Why do u think these might be related ?
Question: when people have trochanteric bursitis, or perhaps any bursitis, is it common to find another place with an inflammation? Thank you
@Holly Smith watch Dr Eric Berg on inflammation. He has very nice tips.
Got mine from taking 2 flights with a 3 hr layover. Too much amashed in seating. Got some steroids, hoping to find some excercises.
How r u now ? Hope u recovered
What app do you use for your animations?
I liked all of the video except the end when you said that it can take 6 to 9 months or longer to fully recover from trochanteric bursitis. Please reduce this time! Thanks.
I think a lot of us would have been very happy if it had gone away in 9 months - 9 years even!!
Thé cause of mine was hip abduction exercises i put a disc of weight of 10kg on my hip and performed thé exercises😭
Tell me more about this. What weights? How did you wear them? What exercises did you do?
Nobody got a surgery? I ve heard you can fix this in that way
I’m struggling so bad I don’t know what else to do 😭
That 6 to 8 months makes me feel lot better about my recovery I thought it was 3weeks to 2 months
Goto 4:14
Mine was caused by sitting too many hours one day.

Great explanation. I’m suffering from it. NSAIDs helped but not much. May be exercises help. Don’t want steroid shot’s.
👍👍
Glad you said ice. My Dr said whatever!
