trochanteric bursitis

Has anyone suffered from this who can give me any tips? 😥

Is that a Google diagnosis? They can often be misleading.

most common exercises for hip issues are squats, single-leg squats and lunges as well as hip flexor stretches.

If you have real concerns though, it is best to see your GP and, if necessary a physio.

I thought this was one of Bob Geldoff children?

As dunder2004 says, you should see a physio/chiropractor if you haven't already done so. I'm just getting over that problem and along with the treatment, was given stretches to do but wasn't allowed to do strengthening exercises until the problem had been sorted out as they were making the situation worse. Also wasn't allowed to run until it improved then went back to one minute run one minute walk three times, then four times etc, building up slowly. Good luck.

Hi Katy, yes I have this.

I was diagnosed in February after suffering on and off in January with pain in my right hip. I saw a physio and was told that it would take roughly 4 - 6 weeks to recover. I have had massages , which hurt like a b**ch and have been given strengthening exercises to do. I have no pain at all now in my right hip and had started slowly building my runs up again, but have now got the pain in my left hip . Pah !

Definitely rest it , ice it, and take the advice of your physio .

Good Luck ! xxx
