Have Hip Pain. X-ray Shows Spine Not Lining Up. Diagnosed As Sciatica. Will Physical Therapy Hurt Bursitis?
Aloha from Hawaii! I have hip pain and Dr. had xray taken. Discs are good , something about the spine not lininhg up (i have bad posture) so diagnosed sciatica with physical therapy starting today. But when I read symptoms it sounds like bursitis as it is only one area, no back pain, no tingling etc. Will physical therapy hurt bursitis as it says to limit movement and rest?

Hi and welcome to HCM
It seems to be due to bad posture as diagnosed by your doctor. In bursitis(inflammation of bursa), it is painful to touch and pain during movement. For bursitis rest is initially required to subside the inflammation , after that physical therapy is required. So I suggest you to continue physical therapy as advised by your doctor.
Hope this will helps you. Take care.
