A member asked:
3 months after bursitis diagnosis the swelling and sharp pain is gone but i still have a dull ache. can i walk the dog without doing damage?

Yes: I assume you have trochanteric bursitis. If that is the case mild activity is good at this stage. You may need to look at other factors such as tightness of the buttock muscles or leg muscles that can contribute to bursitis. Addressing those factors may keep it from reoccuring.
