Thank you - this is a useful video. But can you please post a video showing what you SHOULD do to treat hip bursitis, if it's not stretching?

Hi there , I got right sided bursitis about a year ago , had injection and was doing well . Christmas morning I hurt my back , CT scan showed herniated disc . The pain was off the scale with sciatica , doctor gave me Lyrica which was a blessing , specialist suggested surgery . I couldn’t tell if the pain I still have when standing is from the hip or back . I don’t want to do surgery if it’s the hip causing the sciatica. The pain is in the butt and down to the knee . And maybe the lyrics is stopping the sciatic pain that goes to my toes. Your video has helped immensely. Thank you ☺️

I think you're forgetting about co-morbidity. As far as I understand it, tight piriformis can cause bursitis. I personally believe I have both. Started with bursitis-like pain (alone), then migrated to butt pain.

Same thing here. I had an acute injury to my adductor. I believe that "caused" the hip bursitis because I started walking in a different way.

Same trying to figure out to stretch or not

Hi plz where is the video for treatment

My pain is worse after figure 4 stretch. Often in the glutes, but also in iliac crest in the back. Knees sometimes hurt. Trochanter area hurts. Overall very stiff in hips and back. I got into trouble by sitting too much, lunges, squats, stair climbing etc. One day i cleaned under the furniture, worked out very hard, inverted the water jug, and now im suffering ever since. I'd do anything to start to feel better.

Did it heal? If so, what did you do?

Thanks a lot! Can you recommend any exercises for true hip bursitis?

Thanks so much

What would deform your hip it's sticking freakishly out and locks up at night and causes extreme pain running up my back and down my leg, hope it's not out of joint.

My painful side often switches and sometimes it's both sides. Right now I feel like there's a knife in my left upper/outter glute especially if I extend my leg in front. Usually most painful in morning even after spending thousands on a good bed. I don't think stretching works too much. I had FAI surgery on my opposite side 5 years prior.

Hey, awesome explanation, different from all doctors in Brazil, and if you are equal(both sides) of flexibility, which exercise should someone do? Strech or tighten?

@drcharliejohnson

Hey Gabi! Thanks for reaching out...if both are equal and if you have one sided pain, then it tells me that motion is most likely not the issue and that you should NOT be stretching. Again, I havent evaluated you, but if flexibility is good and equal then head down the path of strength first. (tighten) Make sense? What are you currently doing? Dr C

Good explanation, but as someone else said, what is it best to do to reduce the pain?

@drcharliejohnson

Good question Richard… many things to consider and I wish it was a straight forward answer. First- optimize the healing environment: Do detective work and ID things that are aggravating problem structurally, and also consider how certain thoughts/beliefs (mentally) might be contributing. Fix these things. Next, find what you need to improve (self assess). 3. Use mind and movement as medicine: Follow a process for identifying specifically which motion(s) will be most valuable for your condition… give you relief. finally 4: Get back to life: Learn how to manage the ups and downs- and build a “bridge” which allows you to get back to life safely. I teach folks worldwide how to do these things inside my Glute Relief Accelerator Program. Hope this helps. I hope you can understand that it’s not as straight forward as do this one thing and solve your problem. Lots to consider. Thanks for watching and let me know if you’re interested in some help!

Hi Doctor! Thanks so much for this video. Can Bursae issue exist along with Sciatica and piriformis ? I have all the three pains - the bursae, hip pain and pain down leg - front and side of thigh, and knee and foot

What about severe pain in your butt cheek when going from sitting to standing?

So what if your hip hurts, your lower back hurts and it’s all on one side , but it’s not numbness or tingly and it’s not all the way down the leg to the foot. It’s a stiff feeling pain that sometimes feels like it starts in the lower back above the left buttock and other times feels like it starts in the side of the hip. It’s mostly a dull pain, but it gets sharper at night and when sitting , bending or stretching . The figure 4 stretch test made it feel like sharp pain and it stretched fine. It wasn’t even tighter than the other side it just hurt sharply to stretch. So is that sciatica or bursitis or something else ?

I have chronic hip bursitis in both hips. In 2020, is did several weeks of Physical therapy and at the end, I did get some relief from pain. But since then, I have been doing some of the stretches and exercises I was given plus yoga stretches. I have had the shots in both hips. They no longer give relief. I have trouble sleeping at night because I am a side sleeper. I now take an Advil at night so I can sleep until it wears off. If not stretches or exercise, what is recommended?

Hey! Because the bursa is not a nerve- it cannot cause nubmness.tingling... and will NOT refer pain up to spine. Sounds like you most likely have a back issue- causing what they think is "ischial bursitis" and the other funky symptoms you're experiencing. Have you checked out my DIY Diagnostic Guide? It's free- you can grab your copy here if you'd like. www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/DIYGuide Hope it helps!

On that fig 4 test, both legs have same free movement. On my sore side, I’m unable to cross my leg without pulling it up with my hands. In walking, the pain is in the quad muscle just above the kneecap and sometimes the pain travels down to the outside part of my calf. Thanks for your tips in these videos.

Hi YES! I found out that I was over stretching and instead of stretching I needed to tighten. How you do it is: lay on your side with your knees bent. Keep your ankles touching and lift top knee up and repeat on both sides. My pain went away in two night and I felt relief in just one night. I had pain for a yea. If that doesn’t make sense look up how to tighten it. (Unless yours is too tight then you need to stretch like this video) BEWARE OVERSTRETCHING. ❤️

As far as i know, if you dont have back hip its probably piriforms( like my case pain just in the butt), and bursites you should analyze by this video

"diagnostically muddy". 🤣 Sciatica is the headache of the hips....they just slap on the sciatica diagnosis (like taking Motrin for headache) . Sure it can help, but until you get the root (stress/sinus allergies/brain tumor) only symptoms get (short term) relief.
