Hip Bursitis: Trochanteric bursitis is painful exactly at the side of the hip when you push against the top of the femur (thigh bone). Make sure its the femur by moving your leg around and feeling the top of the femur move.

Hip: It may be if it is along the outside of your hip and should respond to Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen. If it has been present longer than 2 weeks, see your doctor for an exam and help with the diagnosis. It is unusual that it is occurring at night. Bursitis should be painful all the time. All the best in sorting this out. Feel better.
