Not sure how I got Bursitis in my hip but the doc says that it is caused by back problems. I have not over worked these areas and the only thing I can say is that I slouch at the computer to much and maybe I have a bad pillow or bed. I really hate this pain for I can't sit on the floor cross lagged, sleep right, get in and out of a bath tub. Its just a big pain in the hip. The doc also said not exercising, just some streching. Please help I am to young for this?!

NO NO NO. Bursitis in NOT caused by back problems!!!  OMG that dr. is not giving you good info.  It is an inflammation of the Bursa sac that is in the joint.  It swells and then causes pressure and pain.  You can use ice and ibuprofen (if okay with dr.) or some other kind of NSAID.  You can also get injections into the joint that will take away the pain (they hurt a bit but are worth it if it helps). You may be sitting to much and aggravating the bursitis but you need more into about it.  Go to webmd and put in bursitis to learn more about it.  It is worth learning about.  Unfortunetly no one is too young to get arthritis.

There are several things that could be going on. \nTendinitis or your bursae sac could be torn which causes bursitis. Pluerisy could be a problem. Bursitis & pluerisy both hurt so bad that you think you are having a heart attack. And last but not least, you could have a broken collar bone. My niece broke hers and didn't even know it. She had no visible signs for a few days and then it hit. So be careful. I would go to a doctor.

I had shoulder pain when I went to bed. It lasted for about fifteen minutes. I was active without pain. I thought it was a rotater cuff problem I think any recurring pain that lasts for awhile in the upper part of your body should be checked out

I suffered from this years ago when I started my first year of marching band.  Make fun if you want, but marching band is hard work.  You do so much walking, and not normal walking either.  They taught us what they called the roll-step, which reduces the bounce in your walk, and involves pointing your toe way up in the air as you start your stride, thus stretching the calf muscle.  This was my first year of doing this, and doing it repeatedly for a few days caused me so much pain on the front of my right calf muscle that they put me on crutches the rest of the week.  After the worst of it healed, I would from the on wrap my leg from the bottom of my knee to the ankle with an ace bandage to try and support my calf and keep everthing "tight" while marching.  It still bugs me to this day if I do anything to strenuous, especially on hard surfaces, with that leg.  I was also suggested a little exercise which helps also with sore ankles.  Pretend your toe is the tip of a pen, and write the alphabet in cursive in the air with your toe.  Sound silly, but try it.

You need to work on your abs and your lower back. Those muscles work together. If your abs are weak, you probably have a weak lower back as well.  That will make you slouch, make your stomach stick out more and cause lower-back pain and even constipation if your intestines are too crunched from your bad posture.  (My personal trainer taught me all this.)\nImagine this: your head is a block of wood.  So are your shoulders, your hips, your knees and your feet. Each block is attached to the next by a cord.  On top of your head is a balloon. Feel the balloon rise and pull all of the blocks into alignment. That's how you want to stand and sit.  Your shoulders should be slightly back.  If you are standing still, tilt your pelvis slightly forward and bend your knees just a bit. You'll feel your spine settle right into  your pelvic girdle. It's very comfortable. (That part's from my Chi Gong teacher.)

it sounds like you have sciatica ( pain in the butt-or feel like your hips are bad?) You will need to do low impact exercise for your lower back muscles so it is not so easy to strain them. Water aerobics or light swimming helps

I had the same problem at 15 but back then you just lived with it.  I have had both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis for the past 50 years and let me tell you, it's no joke!  Sissies don't make it; it takes a lot of grit to keep going.  I've had a knee replacement, a lumbar laminectomy, a cervical discectomy and in 8 days, I will have a total hip replacement.  I know how very frustrated.  Personally I did not have any luck with therapy, orthopedic inserts, braces, or a TENS unit.  I have taken Voltaren 75 mg. twice a day since 1990.  I have walked with a rollator for two years.  I have no answers for you but I feel your pain, both physical and emotional.  I have a wonderful team of doctors and surgeons.  If it were not for my faith in God I would not have anything to look forward to.  God bless and good luck!

Registered Nurse here; Dear Steve, sounds like it can certainely be related to stress.  Ask your self these question. #1. Do you find yourself tense and tight at work, such as holding your shouldrers stiff, neck stiff, do you spend a great deal of time at a computer?  I would suggest a heating pad low temperature at night, mild heat is an excellent source to relieve and relax tense muscles.  Also try some light excericises throughout the day, such as rolling your neck back and forth, rub the back of your neck, if available have someonelse rub the back of your neck, gently, but yet firm.  If tension present you should notice relieve instant, not to say that it want return immediately.  Ibuprofen may need to be taken for several days, Ibuprofen is an non-steriod anti-inflammatory agent, and should with a few days, help the tension.  Take with food, Ibuprofen can be very irrating to the stomach, creating yet another problem.  Warm showers, allowing the pressure from the shower to massage the back of your neck for 2 to 3 minutes, should also help.  Finally, body position while in bed, proper use of pillows.  If all the above falls, should see your physician, you made need a prescription to assist you through this stressful time.  You and your Doc could best discuss what options are available and the two of you decide together what is best for you.  Speedy recover, try not to worry & be Happy!  I know easier said than done.\nThanks for the opportunity to address your question.

I get my chiropractor to do it.  Make sure that's what you actually did though, I knew a girl, thought she put her hip out and really she gave herself a stress fracture.  Call your doctor.

As a 28 year old young woman with scoliosis I have a lot of experience with back pain. The fact that the pain is radiating down to your thigh makes me think it is related to you sciatic nerve. What I have found the most helpful is yoga and pilates. The controlled movements of yoga not only strengthen your back and abdominal muscles but they also provide flexibility and stretching to the core muscles that have a huge influence on spine health. I am looking for a yoga class right now for this very reason. After physicians keep telling me to simply take ibuprofen/aleve/etc... It can get very frustrating. Especially when none of those drugs can touch the pain! I wish you the best!

You might have a pinched nerve in your hip or back or something. Try doing some stretching exercises or see a phisio to crack your back back into place.

I have the same problem. I went to my doctor and he said that I have bursitis of the knee. I also have tendinitis. I run Cross Country and Track for my high school and I didn't want to stop running so he told me that as long as I'm careful I can keep running. There are special braces I guess you would call them available at Academy. There's also a link on line where you can find them. I also take glucosamine chondroitin which really helps to rebuild joints. I hope this helps you out. Let me know how you feel.

Back pain, especially low back pain, is the most common complaint for which physician visits are sought annually in the United States.  The most common cause of back pain is not stress. In fact, stress alone rarely causes back pain; it may, as you mentioned, cause tension (which is just "discomfort" that can be relived with rest and warm showers.\nThe most common causes of low back pain are lumbar stains and sprains, which account for 70% of all low back pain. In lay terms, strain is muscular tear and injury and sprain is ligamentous injury.\n\n(The rest include: "10% of cases are due to age-related degenerative changes in discs and facets, 4% of cases are due to herniated discs, 4% are due to osteoporotic compression fractures, and 3% are due to spinal stenosis. All other causes account for less than 1% of cases.")\n\nRecent studies have shown that bed rest is NOT effective in relieving low back pain and it may even be detrimental as it causes loss of muscle strength in the low back area.  Treatments of choice are multiple and are chosen on a case by case basis.  Physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, range of motion excercises, and surgery in severe cases may be indicated.\nBottom line, you must see a physician and be evaluated as to whether you may benefit from physical therapy.\n\nF.

Try applying a heating pad to the area.\nIf that doesn't help, then you have no other alternative,than to see a doctor of osteopathy.(D.O.)     They specialize in bones.\nIt is possible you may have a slipped disc. The weight of pregnancy or during labor could have caused this.\n\nI know you hate seeing doctor's, so try the heating pad and see if that helps.\n\nYou MAY be doing excersizes that are not lower back friendly.  That would certainly aggrivate it.  I hope you have a lisenced trainer that's working with you.  If you DO have one, well, it's not working.\n\nThere are certain excersizes just for back pain.  Usually it's lower back pain, due to weak lower back muscles.\nIs that in fact what you're working on, in the gym?\n\nIf you absolutly refuse to see a doctor, consider an icy/hot patch and some tylenol 500mg.  \n\nI doubt that it's due to weak lower back muscles, since you carried a baby's weight around with you for months.  It could also be sciatica.  The sciatic nerve could have been aggrivated at ANY time.\n\nI hope this helps and that you feel better soon.

Had to laugh at your expense, but I guess I owe you a serious answer.  One idea is that you could have overstreched your bum muscles (glutes) from lifting too many weights such as squats.  Did you help someone move recently and have to squat a lot?\n\nAnother idea is that you shoveled and twisted.  This is the kind of action like shoveling snow.  Lifting something heavy and twisting will hurt your bum/back muscles.\n\nI seriously had this pain while working in a foundry and went to massage therapist to get it worked out.  It still bothers me from time to time.  Go get it properly scanned if the pain continues.
