A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hip Bursitis: Hi: there are 2 types of hip bursitis. 1) Trochanteric bursitis on the outer aspect of the hip, 2) Ischial Bursitis on the sitting bone area (buttocks) assoc. with difficulty sitting. Make sure the bursitis is not from arthritis conditions or infection. If simple bursitis, then ice, resting the area, and anti-inflammatory medications will help. Best wishes.
