Hip Pain Bursitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatment Strategies
Severe hip bursitis pain is something that happened to me in my late fifties, it progressed from a small amount of pain in my left hip to excruciating and severe hip bursitis pain over the following two years.
In the beginning I put the pain in my hip down to many years of playing contact team sport I assumed that my body had some wear and tear especially in the joint areas like hip, knees, and ankles.
My second assumption was that the hip pain may be related to arthritis as so many of my friends complained and were diagnosed with arthritis.
Hip pain progression
In my case the pain in my hip started off as a niggle and would last for maybe ten minutes, it would go away after I sat down, but over the following months that niggly pain progressively increased in intensity by about 50%.
I first noticed the pain when I was standing up in the kitchen cooking or cleaning, I would feel a sharp pain in my left hip area that would not go away unless I sat down
The second thing that I noticed was after going to bed the pain was there in my left hip so I would have to lie on the good hip in order to get some sleep. Approximately one year after the pain started, I noticed that not only was it present in my hip, but the pain had travelled down the outside of my leg as far as my knee.
