Question 4

i was diagnosed with a hip bursitis just under 4 years ago and it has been treated with steroid injections in the past. the last injection i had was a year ago. the symptoms have started again and painful when walking and worse when going up stairs.

Accepted Answer

Hip bursitis: Too many corticosteroid injections can weaken the tendons. Are you overusing your hip joints by certain exercises? Have you had an MRI of the hip to look for other pathology?  Have you tried resting your hips and taking an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen?Have you been examined and advised by an orthopedic specialist? These are things I recommend to evaluate a recurring hip joint proble

Question 6

have ra & oa, chronic hip bursitis.have had several steriod inject over the yrs.now increased pain, mri inflammation of ra, partial tears minimus/gluteus?

Accepted Answer

See details: You have not asked a question. However, chronic hip bursitis may often be referred pain from the lower back and not a true bursitis. I would suggest an MRI of the area. If it is a true bursitis, the bursa can be surgically removed. However, from your description it seems the pain is likely related to lower back issues. Have you seen a pain specialist? If not, consider doing so.

Question 7

will chronic trochanteric hip bursitis sciatica and a healed sacroilliac fracture cause problems and pain if i were to become pregnant a second time?

They might: Pregnancy causes many physiologic and anatomical changes including loosening of many ligaments about the pelvis to allow for the expansion of the fetus and ultimate delivery .Because of this some of your prior symptoms and problems may reemerge.

Question 8
