Could Hip Pain While Moving Be The Symptom Of Bursitis?
I am having hip pain when I am moving. How do I know that I have bursitis. I was diagnosed several years ago when I was a runner. I was advised to stop running. I did. I was given a steroid injection even though I did not reall y want it. I had an adverse reaction and did not continue any more. No real problems until now at 71.
I have studied your case. As per your history there can be hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN]. I will advise you do X ray of hip and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.
After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI. Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. If required intra-articular injection can be given.
Diet rich in calcium and protein will help
