Hip Bursitis - can someone say if my symptoms r typical of this?

This could be an ileopsoas muscle strain or, as you suspect, a bursitis.  And the pain can indeed come and go.  It is possible for it to become a chronic condition when not rested /treated appropriately.\n\nBut! laying on a mattress, however 'terrible', is not likely to cause this injury.  (Though it may aggravate it, so wrecking your quality of sleep and rest....).\n\nIt takes time for a bursitis to form - and it is not at all unusual for \none to develop weeks, even months,after the original injury.\n(Which is why it sometimes seems to come 'out of the blue')\n It is a common sports injury, but may also be connected to excessive weight-bearing. or other forms of trauma.  (I see from a previous answer that you are just 27 yrs old...? sports injury)...\n\nPrimary care doctors are not good at diagnosing these kinds of problems - indeed they don't really want to, since the diagnostic tests involved are expensive (CT and MRI imaging) - and, when all is said and done, none of their patients ever die of pain!!\n\nMoreover,while patients are waiting for those tests, the problem frequently resolves itself.  \n\nTreatment is image-guided deep injection of steroids,but the success rate for this is only 50-60%.  (Surgery for very extreme cases).\n\nAn alternative diagnosis might actually be spinal problems - a herniated disk in particular - which can cause 'referred' pain to the hip and other structures.  However I would be willing to bet money that you have a bursitis - primarily because you identify the pelvic bone as a major pain site. (The ileopsoas muscle attaches to the pelvis).\n\nIn this condition, you are likely to feel OK when mobilising - but experience pain when you sit/ lay in a 'fixed' position.  You may also experience pain on internal rotation of the leg on the affected side.\n\nYou need 'Brufen' (Ibruprofen) for pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory.  And you need to rest for a bit with only gentle exercise.  \n\nIf you have a continued experience of pain - over several months - you will need to seek a definitive MRI scan of the pelvis - primarily to exclude spinal radiculopathy (nerve root involvement) and lumbar disk problems. But lets hope you won't need one and that it is a minor problem.  Its a 'wait and see', really.\n\nI really hope this helps you. Good luck.

It could be Arthritic pain.\n\nSpasm of muscles around ur legs.\n\nTrauma with minor fractures.\n\nMeniscitis.\n\nLigament sprain.\n\nEarly cancer at the end of your long bone.\n\n\nthere are many reasons, so please see your primary care physician.

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.

Try mssaging the hip area with dragon balm or tiger balm.\nIt is POSSIBLE that you have inflammation in the joint, arthritis, a muscle or ligament tear, sciatica caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve or any one of many other problems - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE REMOTELY.\n\nDo you know a good osteopath or chiropractor?\n\nThey will assess your injury, most likely massage your lumbar area - including gluts and piriformis - and then adjust you (crack). There is a high success rate with this kind of thing. Numbness usually indicates that there is pressure on a nerve, shooting pains too. Sounds a LOT like sciatica.\n\nI wonder what you did that brought this on?\nSome advice:\nDon't carry your wallet in your back pocket anymore - sitting will be uneven. \nNo crossing the legs either.\nYou can try lying down on the ground - on your back, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.\nLean sideways and slide a rolled up towel (1-1/2 inches diameter) under you lower back and lie straight again. Slowly lower your knees to the floor so that you basically have a bump under your hips. If this hurts the towel is too thick or you are in too much muscle spasm for this gentle stretch to help.\nIf it doen't hurt, just feel into the stretch - allow the muscles in the lower back to relax. You can stay here for 3-4minutes.\nLean sideways and pull the towel out.\n\n\nThe above will all help - I urge you to see a professional - you don't have to live with this pain.

GO SEE A DOCTOR.  Being uncomfortable is one thing, but if you are in PAIN, go see a doctor.  It could be anything from gas to a tumor to appendixitis.

Basically your hips are externally rotated, and this is normal for a lot of people (myself included).  It's most likely  caused by the way your skeleton is put together, and in that case there is nothing you can do about it.  In some cases it is caused by tight rotator muscles in the hips, and this can be fixed by stretch the piriformis muscle (see link for stretch)

From a physiological standpoint, you should probably get it checked. On the "most likely" scale, it sounds like your hip flexor muscle is overworked on that side. I'm guessing that you're right-handed. Most right-hand dominant people are also right-leg dominant, meaning that your first step from starting is almost always on the right leg first, and you tend to land a little harder on that side. This may also transmit pain to the low back. Crunches on the floor don't usually aggravate the problem, but the inverted chin-ups probably do. Most ab excercises that use a large range of motion have a great deal of hip flexor involvement - sit-ups being on of the worst.  Try substituting cable crunches for the inverteds. Do them in a kneeling position, with heavy weight, and make sure your feet are ON your heels the whole time. It will take the hip flexors out of the exercise.  Anatomically speaking, they are on of the most over tightened of all muscles.  Be sure to stretch them after your ab workouts.  Doing the "kneeling lunge" to stretch the front of the hip should hit it.

Could be symptoms of appendicitis.

You need to go to a  doctor who deals with joint . You could have arthirist or rheumisism. Don't wait to long as it will get worse . Good Luck

You could have bursitis or a calcium growth on your shoulder blade which is inflamed. I've had both. An operation took care of the 'bhur' on the blade. The bursitis persists.

Try checking out spine-health.com. I've had sciatica which is when the sciatic nerve is pinched or impinged upon sometimes by normal wear and tear and sometimes by a strain/slight injury (even without realizing it). It can also be caused by a disc problem. The pain is real and it usually effects the upper thigh and sometimes the hip and can radiate downwards. I use ice and Motrin. Of course your mom should check with her doc to make sure she can take an anti-inflammatory if indeed that is what it ends up being. That spine-health.com has a list of issues dealing with bulging discs, herniated discs etc. The bulging disc can range from mild to severe but there are treatments available that are successful. Also there is a ligament (can't remember the name of it at the moment) that runs outside and just below the hip through the outside of the buttock to the thigh that even if just strained can cause much pain. It's good she's getting an MRI to determine whether it's actually disc involvement or muscular in nature. I'm not a doctor, just played a lot of sports so have a bit of experience with some of these. Good Luck.

Sounds like you are subconsciously making up for the slight immobility in your leg. I can understand why it would cause foot pain, especially in the Achilles tendon, since your inertia as you move would be causing you to be hyperextending your foot. It's probably also connected to the knee pain. You may have developed a habitual limp. Anyone who's ever injured their knee or ankle has experienced the same sort of feeling. I can imagine that this feels completely abnormal though, or else you wouldn't have been describing it here. If you have BlueCross BlueShield, I know that specialists are covered without recommendation under "special office visits". You should have an orthopaedist do an xray to ensure that your cartilage isn't developing elasticity and that it's not flipping around a bone or growth. He should also watch your walk and see what habits you may have developed. Do you have a cane? I've learned that this can cause a weekness in certain muscles, causing others to over-compensate.
