Stretch: Trochanteric bursitis can be very painful and cause sleep loss. Topical agents usually don't go deep enough to help. Stretching of the it band helps fix the problem, nsaias and injections can help with the pain. Some people need physical therapy for relief. Arthroscopy can help those few with chronic, unrelieved bursitis.
