I also heard bursitis of the hip could be a possibility since my job requires a lot of lifting and constant motion. What would be the signs and symptoms?
Brief Answer:
Not likely
Detailed Answer:
Not likely.
You may add on clear pictures of the tube like area with a pointer attached to this query if possible as it helps sometimes for on-the-spot diagnosis.
Any connection with the bursa, psoas abscess can be diagnosed only by a MRI or CT scan study.
Go for it if advised so by your Doctor, preferably a General Surgeon after clinical evaluation and examination.
