Osteoarthritis hip bursa
Common Questions and Answers about Osteoarthritis hip bursa
osteoarthritis
When I was 33 I got my first bursitis (right shoulder). The chiropractor said the bursa are like gelatin ball-bearings in the shoulder, and when one pops, the surrounding muscles become inflamed. Now 10 years later, I have it in both shoulders, and pain when I walk, in my left arch and right ankle. Once my ring finger knuckle hurt for a year. The doc said the X-Ray showed no knuckle between the finger bones. Is this a case of disappearing joints?
maybe a car accident, or you hit your hip on a sharp, hard corner or you fell on your hip... it is inflammation of the fluid-filled sac (bursa) that lies between a tendon and skin, or between a tendon and bone... so RA or osteoarthritis can increase your risk of development... I had it on my leg after a car accident and after physical therapy for it I finally got through it... the bursa was absorbed by my body is what the doctor told me... it hurt like fire burns!
I was put on oxycontin for pain (with no help at least at the dose I am on)
and given a cortisone injection in the bursa...this helped immensely for a bt 5 weeks than the hip and thigh pain started slowly returning after a lapse of approx 3 months my pain is WORSE than it was originally.....a NSAID helps somewhat but was told by my pain specialist NOT to take these, but when in pain I do what I can even with the risks...
Joint problems can be caused by arthritic conditions (like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis for example) or bursitis (inflammation of bursa). Bursa is a small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner layer of viscous fluid. It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between the bones and allows free movement.
You may have had a hematoma in the gluteal muscles or in the trochanteric bursa of the hip. Possibly this has resulted in chronic thickening and scarring of the bursa. This could result in chronic pain from trochanteric bursitis and further tightness in the Iliotibial band syndrome, The final product would then be a cause of so-called external "snapping hip syndrome" as the ITB and trochanteric bursa snap over the greater trochanter of the proximal femur.
Would inflammation to the bursa sac show up in an MRI or X-ray? I went to a chiropractor specializing in Active release tecnique He said it was Hip bursits. Would physical strething and manipulation of the leg help this condition?
bursitis. Hip bursitis is diagnosed based on the history of outer hip pain, specific areas of tenderness of the outside of the hip, and confirmed by relief with local injection of anesthetic in the doctor's office. Patients frequently notice pain in the outer hip with stair climbing or descending and tenderness of the hip when lying on the affected side at night”.

A bursa is a fluid filled sac that allows smooth motion between two uneven surfaces. For example, in the hip, a bursa rests between the bony prominence over the outside of the hip (the greater trochanter) and the firm tendon that passed over this bone. When the bursal sac becomes inflamed, each time the tendon has to move over the bone, pain results. Because patients with hip bursitis move this tendon with each step, hip bursitis symptoms can be quite painful.
These pains can generally be in a lot of places but the most common areas I get them are in a hip joint on the side of my butt that I can touch and it will hurt. If I stand on one leg awkwardly it will hurt. Also get them in my feet. Almost anyway on the foot, balls of my foot, heal just below the skin, arch of my foot, top of my foot. Another common area is at the very top base of my quadricep. So when I lift my knee it will hurt and be very difficult.
The trochanter has a fairly large bursa overlying it that occasionally becomes irritated, resulting in hip bursitis. The medical term is trochanteric bursitis.
Actually the hip (trochanter) is the largest bursa of the body. It can be extremely painful. It is easily treated if rest, ice, NSAID's and the usual does not alleviate the pain. Steroid injections has relieved my bursitis pain the 2 times that I have had to have them.
I may be wrong in my conclusion. I am not a physican.
There are two major bursae of the hip, which can both be associated with stiffness and pain around the hip joint. The trochanteric bursa is located on the side of the hip. It is separated significantly from the actual hip joint by tissue and bone. Trochanteric bursitis frequently causes tenderness of the outer hip, making it difficult for patients to lie on the involved side, frequently making sleep difficult.
That's not exactly true. The bursa is isn't a joint, it's a little "balloon" and it can be injected. I just had one of the bursae in my left hip injected that was irritated. However, joints have more than bursa. My left hip has another bursa, the one linked to trochanteric bursitis, and injections haven't helped that one, nor PT. I am considering another procedure.
A bursa is a fluid filled sac that allows smooth motion between two uneven surfaces. For example, in the hip, a bursa rests between the bony prominence over the outside of the hip (the greater trochanter) and the firm tendon that passed over this bone. When the bursal sac becomes inflamed, each time the tendon has to move over the bone, pain results. Because patients with hip bursitis move this tendon with each step, hip bursitis symptoms can be quite painful.
The other causes for the pain are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Arthritis or bursitis can produce pain in the joints. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. Bursa are sac like structures above and below the joints which helps in the movement of the tendons around the joints. These can get inflamed causing bursitis. If the pain persists consult your doctor for an evaluation. Regards.
Last week my right hip toward the back began feeling bruised and then after a day or so felt numb and itchy. Now it is numb all around my hip and into my inner thigh. No other symptoms and it is not painful, just weird.
However, as with snapping hip syndrome, inflammation may develop in the joint, and there can be swelling if a tendon or bursa sac becomes aggravated or damaged. According to the Library of Congress' Everyday Mysteries, excessive popping may lead to some soft tissue damage, although the effects can be minor.
You shouldn't have to worry about any popping going on in the hip joint. If the noise can be eliminated by adjusting your sit-up position, consider making a change.
Hi there,
This may not make sense, but groin pain when you walk means that's the actual hip joint. Pain on the outer part of what you might think of as the "hip" is more likely from bursitis, inflammation of the capsule or "bursa" surrounding the spot where several muscles and tendons come together. One bursa is on the side of your hip, another at the back, which makes you feel like your butt is sore.
You probably have the onset of osteoarthritis which usually is first noticed in the hip, especially when lying on it in bed.
My husband was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in his right hip about 5 months ago but the doctor said he's too young for a hip replacement at this time. He had a cortisone injection which seems to be helping somewhat. He never really had hip pain but instead had groin pain which apparently is common. While the pain has lessened, the lymph node or swelling in the groin area has increased significantly. It looks as though someone inserted an egg under his skin in the groin.

Take care!
Painless swelling at the elbow is generally due to sterile (non infective) fluid collection in the bursa of olecrenon process on ulna bone of the hand. This process is present at the elbow and a bursa or sheath covers it. When sterile fluid collects it is painless bursitis. This bursitis can become painful if there is infection.
Generally there is a history of elbow injury of some sort in the past, but it is not a must.
Treatment is by aspiration of fluid and corticosteroid injection.
Occasional sharp pains and aches on the right side of my body starting around the hip, especially when I move too quickly or in certain positions. What could be causing this type of action?
It sounds more like hip bursitis better known as Trochanteric Bursitis. It is an inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sac near a joint) at the outside (lateral) point of the hip known as the greater trochanter. This is the largest bursa in the body. When it become inflamed or irritated the pain can be excruciating. Obviously it can be injury related but more then likely it's from wear and tear of the hop joint. I cannot diagnosis you, only your PCP can accurately do that.
