Trochanteric Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa that covers your pointed hip bone, called the trochanter.

Bursa is a jelly-like sac that cushions and protects all your major friction producing joints in your body.

A bursa’s inflammation produces pain and tenderness, that can result in limiting your ability to move your hip joint, and this situation makes walking very difficult.

Bursitis is commonly caused by overuse or direct trauma to a joint. However, arthritis or gout may also be the cause of your bursitis induced painful hip.

Bursitis is usually treated with rest, ice, along with pain and swelling relievers, such as aspirin or ibuprofen.

When rest, ice and pain relief medicines don’t work, there are additional pain relief treatment options. These other treatments include ultrasound, physical therapy and steroid injections. And your last resort would be hip bursa removal surgery.

Stretching and strengthening your surrounding hip muscles is an important preventative measure. For those doing repetitive tasks that requires hip movement, routine periodic rest of this joint is vital.
