Navigating Lateral Hip Pain: From Bursitis to Tendinitis & Beyond

Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! Today, we're tackling a common source of discomfort: outer hip pain, specifically focusing on trochanteric bursitis. While textbooks define bursitis as side-of-the-hip pain with swelling or puffiness, what if you have pain but no swelling? We'll dive into what that means and why your symptoms might be confused with other conditions like gluteal tendinopathy or IT band issues.

Bursitis is an irritation and inflammation of the bursa – a fluid-filled sac – which often means swelling. But even without visible swelling, the tips we're sharing today can help. However, understanding exactly what you have is key, which is why a thorough physical examination.

If your outer hip hurts when you walk, run, hike, or even sometimes clicks, but without the classic swelling, you'll gain crucial insights. Don't let uncertainty about your outer hip pain hold you back. Tune in to learn more and discover how proper diagnosis is your first step towards effective relief
