Bursitis vs stenosis: Pain like this is most commonly hip bursitis. Stretching the bilateral hips will help. Occasionally you would have to get a bursal injection to help. If these measures do not help then you ned to look in the lumbar spine with an mri. Often lumbar spinal stenosis can cause the same symptoms. If that is the case then sometimes a lumbar esi is the next treatment option.
