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.

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.

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.

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 😅

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.

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.

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.
