What Causes Left-sided Pain In The Hip And Leg While Having Hip Bursitis?

I have been having intermittent sudden pain in the left hip bursa area and my leg gives out. There has been no injury to that area but I did have a torn labrum repaired on that side in June 2014. I have also had bursitis in both hips needing injections at times. I don t remember if that hip has been injected or not.

Hi...

I read your question and understood your concern..
the bursal irritation is due to reduced glute strength and stability. I recommend you to

Do lot of icing in the Bursa region of your hip.
Anti inflamatory medication to reduce irritation.
Strengthen your gluteus to improve stability.
Do regular weight training to avoid such issues in future...
improve lower back mobility by doing some spinal extension exercises...cobra stretches...
Good hip stretches...

Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard...
