Thank you so much. I saw my Dr last week with a bulge in this area and a pain and stinging. She made no diagnosis and told me to take Panadol for the pain. Bless you for helping us oldies out. ❤️

Thank you 🙏🏼!! It sounds ridiculous, but after just one day of doing a couple of these exercises 3x, I feel much better. These exercises helped have helped relieve the pain. Thank you for explaining what was going on-and telling me NOT to stretch. You are a BLESSING!!

I went to the PT, she gave me none of these exercises and she didn't explain a single thing she did suggest for me. She is a very successful person and I mean her no criticism but she didn't help me. This explanation of what is going on and how I might heal myself, is just what I've been looking for.

Where was this video three years ago? I almost had hip replacement surgery until I went to a different doctor. He started me on steroid injections that last about four months. I've been very frustrated since I LOVE to walk and have had to cut way back since this all started. THANK YOU!

I am 38 and have had issues with this hip pain since my Army days in the early 2000s. I don't know how many doctors and physical therapist I have seen for this issue. I would often be given a list of these exercises but they never explained any of this. I would do the exercises and I would feel pain so I stopped and finally just gave up. Your advice for not crossing your legs is golden. I recently quit doing that because I noticed my hip would flare up when I did. I am also a side sleeper and recently started sleeping with a pillow between my legs and that has helped too. I didn't even think of using a pillow while doing these exercises. I just tried them and I can already tell a huge difference. I am so glad I found your video because I was really getting worried that surgery was certainly in the future and I would rather do everything I can to not go that route.

I've had hip bursitis for a few years due to being a runner for 38 years, etc. I have watched hundreds of videos and have not found one that addresses the fluid buildup in the hip joint which causes bursitis, draining the fluid is not recommended.

Thank you for this excellent video! A few years ago I had a left hip replacement after suffering from bursitis in both hips-left side was worse. Now the right side is starting to ‘go’, and the left has been compensating, resulting in lower back pain and glute stiffness. I still do the PT exercises I learned pre-replacement. I’m glad your video popped up in my feed today-I did the exercises and I can feel relief on the left side. I’ll work on the right side in a few. Thanks again!

I was told I have bursitis in both hips over a year ago but was not actually examined. I was never told what I needed to do to help with it apart from taking painkillers. I now have 3 disc bulges in my lumbar spine which are touching the nerve routes and causing mild to moderate stenosis, on top of the pain in my hips. Finally getting an x-ray on my hips next week to get a confirmed diagnosis. Will hopefully be able to start doing some of the exercises you have illustrated, had to completely stop going to the gym/classes as everything aggravates my back and hips 😢. Once again , thank you for a very informative video ❤

Been dealing with hip bursitis (and possibly sciatica/lumbar disc bulge) since last January. Am working with a physiotherapist and doing glute exercises. Word of caution to those in similar situation: don't go at these exercises too hard. When I got pretty good at them, I increased the resistance band strength and that seemed to aggravate things. Patience is a virtue as they say :) Also, sleep with pillow between your knees if you are a side sleeper.

Without being dramatic, you have quite literally saved my life!! I have scoliosis, roto scoliosis DDD & just to top it off I fell & # my hip 2 yrs. ago!! (I am 73 yrs old) PT that was given to me was all but useless & every time I went back to the surgeon to complain about still being in pain...she'd refer me back to physio! (classic pass the buck cause I don't care)! Suffice it to say 2 yrs. later & I am in a lot of pain, mostly back but hip as well. I had 1 bursitis injection & it was miraculous so I am hopeful with your stretches & exercises for both my back & hip that I might have a chance ! God Bless YOU!! (ps GP is incompetent+++ so I'm on my own!)

Rather than being a comrade-in-arms, I'm a comrade-in-pain alongside you Kathy. I've been dealing with a failed meniscus surgery that eventually irritated my IT band. GP was no help. Orthopedic surgeons, several, have been no help - they've just all sent me to physical therapists who haven't fixed the problem, so like you, I'm on my own. I've just begun these exercises this evening and will do them consistently 3x a day as instructed by our good doctor, Dr. Harlow. I wish you the best with your journey to healing.

I had physio for my trochanteric bursitis however as it wasn't improving despite my adherence to the exercises over several months the physio suggested I have specialised gait analysis performed - I went ahead with gait analysis which revealed that the bursitis-affected leg was a bit shorter than the other leg. I had made to measure raised heel lift for affected leg plus instep roll for other foot. Absolutely transformative and I haven't looked back!
