Question 2

What are the best walking sneakers for hip bursitis and bad backs?

Accepted Answer

There isn't any right answer.  If you know a good podiatrist or orthopedic they may be able to recommend something specific for you.  They can at least tell you terms regarding what your foot tends to do. How much do you pronate?  Wide or narrow heel, wide toe box?  Armed with that information some on line shoe places have customer comments that rate shoes by customers with the same issues.

Question 3

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

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 4

Is riding a recumbent exercise bike good for hip bursitis?

Accepted Answer

I don't advocate that type of exercise if you have active painful  hip bursitis. Get it treated by your physician or orthopedic specialist before performing that repetitive activity of your hip joints.

Question 5

How does your hip bursitis diagnosed?

Accepted Answer

A doctor can usually diagnose hip bursitis by talking to you about your complaints and then examining your hip. The doctor may also get an x-ray. Hip bursitis usually causes pain on the outside of the hip that is worse when you lay on that side. On exam, there is usually tenderness over the boney prominence on the outside of the hip.

What are some of the symptoms of hip bursitis?

Accepted Answer

The symptom of hip bursitis is usually over the greater trochanteric region or on outside of the upper leg.  One may have some pain radiating down the outer part of the leg to the knee.  Also, when one lays on the affected side, it may be uncomfortable.  Best treatment is exercise, aspercreme to the area, or NSAIDS.  If they do not work a cortisone shot may be of benefit.

Question 7

What are some ways to exercise if you have hip bursitis?

Accepted Answer

Rhythmic exercises that do not create excessive stretch on the outer part of the hip will generally not cause any pain. Swimming is one example.  Stretching the low back and it band should lessen the stress across the hip bursa.
