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.

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

I’m 26 and had my first steroid injection for this condition 4 weeks ago. For me it is crippling. Thankyou for the informative video!

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.

very clear explanation

Simple yet well-rounded explanation of the condition

so clear! informative for a range of audience levels

So clear and informative, thank you.

excellent work tom as always.

Simplified trochanteric bursitis for me….Excellent video!!!

Thank you more information on recovering and living day to day treatment

Thank you, very interesting discussion.

Thank you for informative and simple video! It was very helpful!

Thank you so much for the video.

Nice explanation ...thank you so much ...

Excellent summary thank you

Thanks excellent explanation 👌🙏

Wow....This is as good as it gets.

Thank you for the explanation

Thank you very much

WOW ... thank you for this vital and valuable information !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️

Nicely detailed Thanks

Nice thank you for explaining this I have a better understanding of what I have.

A good video which describes what it is, but doesn’t go into the cause(s). I personally found i had it because of tight glute medius muscle.

That 6 to 8 months makes me feel lot better about my recovery I thought it was 3weeks to 2 months

Thank you very much.

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.

Thank you. ❤

Thank you this was very helpful

Brilliant videos, thank you 😊

Thank you! 😍

Thank you soo much 🥰

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

Thenk you very much!

Just loved it….. fully….❤

Thank you so much dear. It was really helpful video that's why I'm going to subscribe you channel. Thanks a lot.

Really amazing 👏

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.

Excellent 👍

It very interesting to understandas i m knew to it as uts casuing alot of pain

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.

Very helpful. Thank you

Appreciate it!

Very informative video 👍👍

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?

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.

Thanks. Very informative.

Does the pain may radiate to the knee?

Glad you said ice. My Dr said whatever!

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

Best description I've heard

Systematic explanation!!♥️

Nobody got a surgery? I ve heard you can fix this in that way

good, but, any exercises

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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

Question: when people have trochanteric bursitis, or perhaps any bursitis, is it common to find another place with an inflammation? Thank you

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.

Exercise for GTPS

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!???

👍👍

Great explanation. I’m suffering from it. NSAIDs helped but not much. May be exercises help. Don’t want steroid shot’s.

What app do you use for your animations?

Thé cause of mine was hip abduction exercises i put a disc of weight of 10kg on my hip and performed thé exercises😭

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.

What doctor specialty could help in diagnosing if there's an underlying (kidney?) infection causing the trochanteric bursitis, especially if on the left-side?

Got mine from taking 2 flights with a 3 hr layover. Too much amashed in seating. Got some steroids, hoping to find some excercises.

Mine was caused by sitting too many hours one day.

Im suffering too much ther is no help

Hmm

Goto 4:14

middle-aged😖

9 MONTHS 😐😐??? my doctor told me it should calm down in 2 weeks 😕😕
