HIP BURSITIS:

Walking, running, getting up from a chair and all essential activities involve the hip joint, the largest and strongest joint in the body. That is why you feel it immediately when something goes wrong. Bursitis develops due to causes such as overuse and injury. This painful condition occurs when the fluid-filled cushions in the hip joint, known as bursae, become inflamed.

Hip bursitis develops from overuse of this joint. Running, cycling, climbing stairs or even standing for long periods can cause it. Injuries, falls or various diseases such as gout and rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to this condition. It is more common in middle-aged and older women.

Symptoms:

• Sharp pain on the outer side of the thigh that gradually gets worse,
• Pain that worsens at night when sleeping on the affected side,
• Pain on the inner side of the leg.

Treatment:

Initially, a patient-specific approach is determined, such as various medications, physical therapy or an intra-articular steroid injection. If the desired response is not achieved despite treatment, surgical removal of the bursa may be considered.

OTHER CONDITIONS WE TREAT:

• HIP DISLOCATION
• ARTHRITIS
