Hip Bursitis
Hip bursitis is when the bursa—a small, fluid-filled sac near the hip joint—becomes swollen or irritated, causing pain on the outside of the hip. The pain can feel worse when walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side.
Hip Bursitis
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Repetitive movements, like running, climbing, or standing for long periods
- Falls or direct pressure on the hip
- Hip injuries or surgeries
- Poor posture or uneven leg length, putting extra stress on one side
- Medical conditions, such as arthritis or spine problems
- Weak hip or core muscles, causing more strain on the joint
What Happens If Left Untreated?
Untreated hip bursitis can lead to constant pain, limping, limited movement, and difficulty sleeping or walking, especially on uneven surfaces or stairs.
