This was SO beneficial! THANK YOU🙏🏾Im a fitness dance instructor & NBA dancer WITH M.S. I recently suffered from bursitis & you've explained EVERYTHING perfectly.Im on the rode to healing this will video will aid in my complete healing
After 40 years of experience as a physician I appreciate deeply your lectures. They are outstanding because of the holistic (scientific+skilled+individual) approach. Thank you very much for improving my daily practice as a primary care physician.
Oh, my gosh, thank you so much for this video. I am 99.99% sure this is what I am dealing with, although I have not been properly diagnosed. I fit the profile of who it affects perfectly: middle aged, not sedentary, but less active due to some chronic conditions, perimenopausal, overweight. My primary doctor said I have bursitis and my rheumatologist said I have mild osteoarthritis of both hips. I started PT at both of their suggestion, and the PTA had me doing exercises with all weight on each leg, which left me in agony, and worse off in non-affected leg!. When I mentioned this, they didn't seem concerned. I also asked if I could get back in the pool and swim, and my therapist seemed hesitant to say yes, which left me so depressed. I love how in your video you say I get to decide what I want to do to get better. I am not going to do anymore exercises which involve all my weight on one leg, and I AM going to get back in the pool. Thank you again.
So to the point, well done! This Video is so much better than the advice you get from 98% of the medical practitioners. Listen carefully, do the exercises, listen to your body and some success is certain. The odds are good to solve the issue entirely. It is in your hands!
Great video, thanks. Really well put together and informative. I’m 58 yr old woman, I was an aerobics instructor, then pilates and yoga teacher but I can’t work any more due to multiple issues, this is one of them. Many of the suggestions here I’ve been doing for a while, it’s good to hear that I just have to continue doing what I can to keep up my fitness levels and strength up working within my own boundaries. I am learning that despite my limitations I can still choose to show up as the best version of my new self going forward and be happy with that.
Thanks for a good summary. Struggling with a long term case of it and was good to hear you say it's a long term process to heal. I wish I could hear some testimonials of people who've overcome it after a long haul. It's so hard to stay positive when the pain flairs up.
@@Snow1128_ It's been a struggle for the past 2 years at least. Working closely with a PT who understands chronic hip issues is helping. Also swimming and running in the pool.

My symptoms and pain started approximately about 15 months ago. After pt, and other superficial remedies... It kinda slowly subsided on its own. I am a 74 year old active female.

I am so glad I found your site. My diagnosis is bilateral gluteus minimus and anterior gluteus medius tendinosis. I have pain in my left hip area and difficulty sleeping. My activity level is day by day, age 74 but formally active before a tailbone injury. Now I am ready to do some of your exercises. Thank you and now a subscriber.
Thank you. I am a middle aged female internist who just went through this matter on the left side. I tried PT, orthopedist said my hip X-ray was normal. After getting worse over 7 weeks I realized inability to walk up even one step due to weakness and severe pain, severe pain on rolling over in the bed, unable to sit down or get up, and most seriously myalgias thighs. I stopped my high dose statin, then took oral Decameron twice a day with significant relief. Strength returned in three weeks, almost to normal. Statins were the putative cause in my case. THANK YOU!!
Great explanation, thank you. I'm 73 and until 4 years ago used to go to the gym 5 days a week... surgery followed by lockdowns I am now in a lot of pain and have been for well over a year and having done a lot of research I know only too well that it takes a long time - for me longer than 3 months and I'm still in agony in the mornings especially. Wish I'd seen your collection of exercises before.
I have searched numerous causes on You Tube for my outer thigh/hip pain and you sir have the most comprehensive approach and solutions. And I am quite sure I have the Gluteal Tendinopahy, because it ticks all the boxes in your evaluation. I am 63 and have worked out for 45 years in the gym quite consistently and still grinding. And I think I started squatting too heavy too soon recently and that's what caused the problem. I suspect my smaller Glute muscles to be too weak, so started strengthening them with abductor exercises as well as Glute bridge. I feel better now, but stopped squatting for a while and lighter weights with more reps. Listening to the body is very important. Thanks again for a super informative and helpful video 👊💪🤙
Excellent video. Loved the explanations of the issue of “hip pain” and giving us permission to increase or decrease activity levels from day to day. Some days being better than others. Working with strengthening hip supporting muscles is a long term goal and then to maintain it. I have been an RN for 40 years and I have to recognize that aging does affect me! My goal is to keep my muscles strong to support my body to maintain ADL, to move and enjoy life!!!
ive been feeling hopeless with some of my body pain for a decade or so and I am so happy i found your channel. i trust you and i'm feeling very safe with how you provide the info and you make it so easy to understand how things are connected, what current research is sure of or suggests. I'm really happy about all of that. THank you so much, I'm getting smarter about the human body and especially about my body and how i can feel with it (self confident in the best case!). THANK YOU!
Thank you for creating valuable educational content! Please keep up the good work! I really love this format. I hope more people can watch this and not influenced by misinformation or outdated information. Thank yo.u so much! At this point, I feel like you guys are contributing a lot in public health by creating high quality valuable educational contents.
I frequently give myself overuse injuries because i like to push really hard and ignore overreaching symptoms/ put off deloading. The section on understanding and monitoring pain was really useful, thanks.
this channel has super thorough, well organized and clearly explained videos… all information is backed up by studies, and even when science is not conclusive, the channel makes sure to let the viewer know it. Excellent work!
Your video is SO informative and exactly what I needed. I was starting to believe I would be needing a hip replacement soon so wow, I'm delighted to have come across this video. Thank you 😊
Very comprehensive video, thank you! I'm newly diagnosed with this condition. Probably due to years in a desk bound job and then, when I retired, taking up golf and playing A LOT! My physiotherapist says it is an overuse injury due to golf but the fact I probably had long standing weakness in glutes, plus menopausal impact and weight gain, is undoubtedly a factor. I know it will be a long haul but I'm determined to get pain free if at all possible as currently my golf is curtailed. Your exercises are all very similar to the program I'm on with my physio. Hoping the next few weeks will see progress.
Very informative. I am 88 and was diagnosed with trochanteric R. Hip bursitis four moths ago. A prednisone shot did NOT give AnY relief. I was given not information or recommendation. I took myself to PT. Hurt like hell first month but I stuck with it, I,proving slowly. Four months later, I stopped the PT 3xs a week, but had already resumed low impact pool classes at MY YMCA. I am continuing exercises and stretches I did at PT for four months. I was told my pain would return with a vengeance if I didn’t keep on with PT routine on my own. I believe it! I recommend your excellent lecture. I recommend a good PT routine, preferably with a really qualified good PT person and staff. And stick with it all! Thank you. - barbara bartholomew. CNY. 2-2-2024.
thank you for posting your experience. So often they use a "healthy 35-year-old" woman as their example, but usually it is a 70+ year old woman who needs the help and information.
Thank you so much for this excellent video. It is such a valuable tool not only to practice what is presented,but to share it with people you might know that has hip pain. Blessings!
MTB Friday (2000 ft climb and descent in single track) Immediately next day morning, I did a 3000 ft uphill and downhill hike Randomly I sat on a chair on day 3 and felt this! This is perfectly thorough ❤
Excellent explaination in compare with other videos, thank you very much. I am old and have these problems for years, some days better some days worse. But now I better understand what is happening in my body. Very valueable information.
Excellent way to present information,!! thank you. Your videos got me thru my knee injure. I injured my left knee last Jan. My arthritic knee! your guidance on knee rehabilitation was the best advice for me. Some tolerable pain during rehab is ok, but keep moving and reassess next days. I kept doing squats, leg extensions and glutes bridges over and over until I got my quads strength back. I am now free of pain. My full knee extension/flexion is back. It took a lot of work and discipline (not going to lie 😂) Thank you for making these valuable videos!!
Thank you thank you thank you! FINALLY a video that explains this simply yet scientifically with research sources. I came from my orthopedic doctor and he gave me diagnosis of left side radioculopathy triggered from severe sciatica attack (most likely nerveroot compression from slipped/buldging disc as I have a weak, tingly and numb left leg now (trouble lifting the foot and rolling it of the ground). The worst of the pain and cramping is gone and now soreness and slight cramps occure 1-5 times a day instead of every 3 minutes. What I found suspicious though during these 16 days is that unlikely many of my previous sciatic/lumbago attacks this time simultanously I have an inflammed hot swollen spot where the hip bursa would be since i am in the risk group of obese + gout but also still keep moving a lot and carrying heavy stuff I am trying to better understand and pinpoint all the issues I have to eliminate them one by one. The doctor wants me to immediately go to a hospital and have mri and surgery but I refuse to get cut open at 34 when I haven't exhausted my conservative method first (the doctor basically just shrugged at mentioning conservative method) and I also can't afford a hospital stay and have noone to take care of me while recovering. I want to wait and see if my painlevels will continue to get better so I can start being more active and keep on loosing weight. I suspect this time the series of issues got all triggered by my self induced overstrain and a bad trip I had earlier in the month plus trying way to soon to carry heavy loads again which must have triggered two issues at the same time.
Excellent information video! You covered everything a non expert should know. Also the part about exercising is brilliant. I get physiotherapy including shock wave therapy at the moment and the physiotherapist told me not to exercise at all - except for swimming - until we finish the ten sessions . The problem is that I exercise at least 30 minutes every day and the less active I am, the "rustier" I feel. Again, thank you very much!
My doctor recently surmised I may have trochanteric bursitis, although what you're saying also could be my issue. I was experiencing pain from hip to toes as well as some numbness in that region. Interestingly, over the last week of not sleeping on that side as recommended and only doing one set of exercises like clamshells, leg raises and bridges, It has improved dramatically. I'm wondering if just having a name to put to my issue somehow relieved it in a sense, even if that's a placebo effect of sorts. I'm excited to try some of the exercises you mentioned here. Thank you for this video.
I definitely had this condition. I had a MRI didn’t show up but the orthopedic Dr. saw some arthritis. I was dragging my leg for 8 months and then poof gone. Thank you so much.
@@dave9547 Hi Dave, sorry it was a cat scan I had done. Anyway Dr. didn’t say to go to therapy he just said. No cancer humm. This was 25 yrs ago. Lately within the last 3 yrs I’ve been diagnosed with a trendelenburg gait. I've been to several P.T. Same left side. The hip pain and dragging my foot/leg seemed to go away on its own back then, mind you it took awhile. Now I go to planet fitness made up a routine from different P.T.s and videos . Good luck.
Great video, like the research. New subscriber :) I've had this condition for about 10 years. Every time I try to start running again, it flares up. I'm now working with a physiotherapist who also told me the things you are talking about in the video (sleep with pillow between knees, let the tendon calm down, then start strengthening and testing how much you can load the tendon, e.g.).
Great stuff! I'm 66 and have been dealing with on-and-off hip pain (bilateral, boo!) for a couple of years now. I like to remain active, but I had to step back from my 2-mile walks because it was aggravating both hips. But I love to bike and golf, so I'm working hard to make that possible. I've been through a lot of PT over the years, and I must say this is about the best overview I've found. You're absolutely right-- patience, and accepting that there is no quick fix. I'm improving but not where I want to be yet. Although I already do a couple of these exercises, I'm going to pick them all up now. I especially like what you're saying about stretching (not necessarily needed). Some stretches are painful, so I have to realize that I shouldn't do anything that brings pain. Also, the cadence (2 or 3x per week) feels right to me. Need time for rest, and to gauge whether the rest day gives better or worse results. I don't know if it's gluteal tendinopathy or trochanteric bursitis, but my guess is these exercises are good for either. Feeling positive about your approach. Thank you!
Excellent information. I’ve been experimenting with changing my gait when walking because I noticed I walk longer and heavier on the sore hip side. It seems promising so far.
My Glute Minimus was very upset. Slowly but surely it is getting better. It takes a lot of time for sure. Building stronger glutes with strength training, balance and stretching. Do not dare to go running until fully pain free. Just being active and eating right. Luckily not overweight or anything.
Thank you for the video. My Dr. diagnosed me with gluteal tindonapathy. But I don't have any pain to the touch or with walking/exercise. I only have pain when laying down or sitting for too long. But it's definitely right at the trocanter. How frustrating 😢
Bingo. Ive been working to strengthen the muscles/structures supporting my knees for the past 4 months. We were doing several of the exercises you mention here. I've had two bouts of debilitating pain. The first was after i over did bridges. The second was about 4 days after a hip, quad, glute workout. I haven't been able to do any significant walking. I can do the 50' to the kitchen, but standing to do tasks hasn't been doable.
The only thing that helps my pain is to crack jokes about being a twisted sister. My scoliosis is wreaking havoc with my muscles and tendons and all of the parts actually. The muscles on one side are crowded and shorter causing them to try and compensate. Then the degeneration and bursitis as I age. My golden years seem more like the painful years as I've been dealing with this for 18 years now. I am glad to see that people I assume, who have straight spines get the same issues, and some at fairly younger ages. It's the ole misery loves company, but I wish you all healing and good health.
This past weekend I was carrying some moderately heavy items in when moving my son into his dorm and that night I started to feel pain in my left hip when walking. Around 9:30 PM I went to dinner and it was mild. By the time dinner was over, the pain was getting pretty bad. By the time we got back to the hotel I could barely walk. All night I was in agony unless I laid flat on my back. For 24 hours I could barely walk. Now it's ~3 days later and I seem to have recovered ~90% but I had all the symptoms described in this video. It was actually radiating pain even if I laid on my right side, despite being the left side that seemed injured. Anyway, thanks for the video clarifying what (probably) happened.
Oh my goodness. This might be why I have so much pain in my hip. I had Lyme disease 6 years ago and it affected my balance and I took a really bad fall off a deck. Since then I've had nothing but pain and aggravation with my right hip. I bruised the right trochanter and the illium crest
Had left hip replaced 10 mon ago and did follow up with surgeon was told all looks great. Have pain got cortisone shot may have helped some .Just crossed my leg over other to take off shoe and felt like a hot knife stabbed my hip now back to limping and using cane again. How can i know what is the cause?Is there a test to tell if it is the prosthesis causing this and what can be done?
I started having this pain during my last pregnancy at 41. It has something to do with relaxin in my case. It's come back on and off during the last 8 years. I recently went to a chiropractor who does SHAPE therapy and they had me lay on my back and they pressed on the boney prominence on my left hip while I was laying on my back and the pain is gone! They pressed so hard, they practically bruised the bone but I'm back in alignment. I went through some low back pain after the adjustment and now that's going away. Especially for women, this might be an issue. Pregnancy is very hard and all the organs and bones move. I have a strong intuition that's what happened to me. The timing certainly fit. Interestingly, my mom started having SVT after her pregnancy with me, and this same accupressurist/chiropractor pressed her stomach down and away from the heart area and it's almost gotten rid of her palpitations. This makes so much sense because eating too much or going to the bathroom could trigger them. Even the valsalva maneuver indicates that something is related to the other organs.
I reported serious pain in outer area awakening me doctor internist said bursitis. Soon after after nine miles fell broke femoral stem. I think it fractured on it’s own. Be careful accepting diagnosis. No pain couldn’t move thought out of joint.
Excellent video! Very thorough and easy to understand. Woke up with GT yesterday morning. Had no idea what was going on. The more i moved and exercised the pain subsided but came back late in the evening. I slept on my domimant side, where the pain was...now i know better. This morning that area is SUPER SORE and thsts what led me to start looking up video and figure out whats going on. Im in my early 50's, working on a successful healthy lifestyle change, have lost a lot of weight (230 to 176), active every day (10k steps plus workouts) so i was very surprised to see this pain come out of nowhere. Havent done anything different. My health is so much better and the journey continues one day at a time. I recently was able to stop talking a statin med and metformin for type 2 diabetes. Could this possibly be a reaction from withdrawing from these meds?
I was diagnosed with this , I am only 25 but I am very active with football and the gym. I suffer quite a lot of pain every single day , my right glute is always tired , I’ve noticed this a lot when going up stairs or standing on one leg for more than five seconds. I have tried everything and seen so many physios and doctors and I have still not been able to fix it. Maybe it’s just time to hang up the football boots and running shoes for good.
@ I actually kept going through it and won the most important thing in London for my profession in October. So my advice is to keep it going and just keep going with the rehab . It doesn’t help but it definitely can’t hurt ❤️
Hurt then fell broke femoral stem had anterior hip replacement. Always have had IT band pain. I thought may have fractured bf fall. No bursitis forward …..suspicious . Did run walking on cane now. No arthritis . Age 81 yrs. Can do 4 miles spread on my cane. op
I've had this for 5 years and have been lying on the floor every so often if it's more than a little annoying. Never looked into it, lol. It was AWFUL when I slept on a caught and was on a roadtrip when I didn't have my usual frequent exercise options. Besides keeping limber, I found the side plank made me feel that spot a lot and wondered maybe it meant it needed exercises specific for that spot.
I'm a pilates instructor and I see gluteal tendinopathy frequently in side lying exercises (particularly side lying mermaid on box). Clients I see this being an issue with are usually middle-aged women where pilates is their only exercise. They often ask why they have pain and they haven't even begun the exercise and now I understand this better and the different reasons why.
Is it common to develop gluteus tendinopathy post hip surgery? I had a hip arthroscopic surgery to fix a tear at the labrum of the hip. However the MRI scan was false positive for the tear. One year later after the surgery and rehabilitation i started running 5 times per week. 3 week later I started to feel same symptoms at the hip which was operated.
Hi. Thank you very much for the valuable content you have been sharing. I have been using this video and your video on groin pain for the past 3 months as I have pain in the groin that extends to the lateral hip when I do "trunk rotation". Similarly I have pain in the lateral hip when I twist my upper body by standing / sitting upright on the floor. The pain is mild - 2 out of 10 - and has not worsened in the last 3 months (despite jogging 2 km everyday in the last 10 days). Am I right in my diagnosis that I may have damaged my groin and hip ? if not, can you pls help me out with an appropriate video of yours! Thanks in advance!
When is ok to begin doing the functional exercises? On a pain scale, should a patient be at 0/10, 3/10, 5/10? Thank you for your thorough information! One of, if not the, best I've encountered.
That must be what's wrong with my left side. Thank you for this information.😊. I actually have been doing what you discussed when using the stairs .. helps. I exercise...but not over doing it. Going to do your exercises.
I had a liw back operation in 2018 and now suffer from bad bursitus down the righ side of my leg Yesterday I went for a Rhizotomy so I hope this will help as yhis was very bad could not even lift my right arm
These are the exact same exercises my PT started me on for glute tendinitis with a thickness tear ii was getting better last year this year it’s coming back but I’m an avid bowler age 62 So getting back to these exercises thank you for your explanation Dr’s don’t tell you anything want to shoot you up with steroid injection ugh I prefer dry needling it’s amazing!!
Getting old sucks😂 but thanks I like to run and just turned 43 so I think this explains it. Also do baths in Epsom salts and Rosemary essential oil seems to help ease pain too.
I'm 45 yrs women,had severe lateral hip pain on right side initially .after a month started pain on left also ,mri showed bilateral tronchenteric hip bursitis. Past one year my physiotherapy was lots of glute stretch and IT band stretch. Recently another physiotherapist diagnosed my issue as gluteal tendinopathy and started rehab 4 months ago ,I'm still having pain .My pain keeps shifting from left to right.How long would it take for complete recovery.
@Billy-cw4ker I am having the same problem. My pain is shifting from left to right and back again. It is hard to rehab one hip without hurting the other, it seems, at least with some traditional PT exercises.
Unfortunately for me, I had pain like this for years now (I am 33) and when I went to the doctor I was diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis and will be replacing my hip at the end of the year 😢
I hurt my left shin and it got infected, I could not stand on it, I had to put all my weight on my right leg, I think over using my right leg. About 2 weeks after the accident with my left leg my right hip suddenly had this incredible pain deep in the hip and butt and thigh and just below the rt knee. I had been thrown/pushed to the by a massive marble table. But I had no pain in my hip or back at the time because some boxes broke my fall. I think I've damaged my hip by putting all the weight on it for so long. I have stairs in my place and I'm I'll be 74 in a week. I had an MRI and a CT scan and they want me to see a back surgeon in April. I think its my hip, they think its my spine.
I had an issue with right hip and tried a cortisone shit and pt and it helped me to walk but didnt fix it. Now my left hip has pain too. I am debating prp injections.
Thanks for so much for watching! Be sure to check out the blog with all the references here: e3rehab.com/blog/gluteal-tendinopathy/

I have been an RN for 40 years and I have to recognize that aging does affect me! My goal is to keep my muscles strong to support my body to maintain ADL, to move and enjoy life!!!
ive been feeling hopeless with some of my body pain for a decade or so and I am so happy i found your channel. i trust you and i'm feeling very safe with how you provide the info and you make it so easy to understand how things are connected, what current research is sure of or suggests. I'm really happy about all of that. THank you so much, I'm getting smarter about the human body and especially about my body and how i can feel with it (self confident in the best case!). THANK YOU!
Best instructional video on this subject I've seen to date. Thank you.
Thank you for creating valuable educational content! Please keep up the good work! I really love this format. I hope more people can watch this and not influenced by misinformation or outdated information. Thank yo.u so much! At this point, I feel like you guys are contributing a lot in public health by creating high quality valuable educational contents.
Just found you. Knoxville TN USA here. I am having a flair up right now. How great I found this this morning.
I appreciate the tone of your education, empowering the viewer to decide versus one size fits all.
I frequently give myself overuse injuries because i like to push really hard and ignore overreaching symptoms/ put off deloading. The section on understanding and monitoring pain was really useful, thanks.
Same! I have become so frustrated trying to understand my tolerance as it changes with increasing load.
this channel has super thorough, well organized and clearly explained videos… all information is backed up by studies, and even when science is not conclusive, the channel makes sure to let the viewer know it. Excellent work!
By far the best video on hip bursitis.
Wow. A master class. Thank you.
Your video is SO informative and exactly what I needed. I was starting to believe I would be needing a hip replacement soon so wow, I'm delighted to have come across this video. Thank you 😊
excellent video,i learnt more about my problem than in five visits to my uninterested gp,thank you
Very comprehensive video, thank you! I'm newly diagnosed with this condition. Probably due to years in a desk bound job and then, when I retired, taking up golf and playing A LOT! My physiotherapist says it is an overuse injury due to golf but the fact I probably had long standing weakness in glutes, plus menopausal impact and weight gain, is undoubtedly a factor. I know it will be a long haul but I'm determined to get pain free if at all possible as currently my golf is curtailed. Your exercises are all very similar to the program I'm on with my physio. Hoping the next few weeks will see progress.
Very informative. I am 88 and was diagnosed with trochanteric R. Hip bursitis four moths ago. A prednisone shot did NOT give AnY relief. I was given not information or recommendation. I took myself to PT. Hurt like hell first month but I stuck with it, I,proving slowly. Four months later, I stopped the PT 3xs a week, but had already resumed low impact pool classes at MY YMCA. I am continuing exercises and stretches I did at PT for four months. I was told my pain would return with a vengeance if I didn’t keep on with PT routine on my own. I believe it! I recommend your excellent lecture. I recommend a good PT routine, preferably with a really qualified good PT person and staff. And stick with it all! Thank you. - barbara bartholomew. CNY. 2-2-2024.
thank you for posting your experience. So often they use a "healthy 35-year-old" woman as their example, but usually it is a 70+ year old woman who needs the help and information.
Thank you so much for this excellent video. It is such a valuable tool not only to practice what is presented,but to share it with people you might know that has hip pain. Blessings!
MTB Friday (2000 ft climb and descent in single track)
Immediately next day morning, I did a 3000 ft uphill and downhill hike
Randomly I sat on a chair on day 3 and felt this!
This is perfectly thorough ❤
Excellent explaination in compare with other videos, thank you very much. I am old and have these problems for years, some days better some days worse. But now I better understand what is happening in my body. Very valueable information.
Excellent way to present information,!! thank you. Your videos got me thru my knee injure. I injured my left knee last Jan. My arthritic knee! your guidance on knee rehabilitation was the best advice for me. Some tolerable pain during rehab is ok, but keep moving and reassess next days. I kept doing squats, leg extensions and glutes bridges over and over until I got my quads strength back. I am now free of pain. My full knee extension/flexion is back. It took a lot of work and discipline (not going to lie 😂) Thank you for making these valuable videos!!
Thank you thank you thank you! FINALLY a video that explains this simply yet scientifically with research sources. I came from my orthopedic doctor and he gave me diagnosis of left side radioculopathy triggered from severe sciatica attack (most likely nerveroot compression from slipped/buldging disc as I have a weak, tingly and numb left leg now (trouble lifting the foot and rolling it of the ground). The worst of the pain and cramping is gone and now soreness and slight cramps occure 1-5 times a day instead of every 3 minutes. What I found suspicious though during these 16 days is that unlikely many of my previous sciatic/lumbago attacks this time simultanously I have an inflammed hot swollen spot where the hip bursa would be since i am in the risk group of obese + gout but also still keep moving a lot and carrying heavy stuff I am trying to better understand and pinpoint all the issues I have to eliminate them one by one. The doctor wants me to immediately go to a hospital and have mri and surgery but I refuse to get cut open at 34 when I haven't exhausted my conservative method first (the doctor basically just shrugged at mentioning conservative method) and I also can't afford a hospital stay and have noone to take care of me while recovering. I want to wait and see if my painlevels will continue to get better so I can start being more active and keep on loosing weight. I suspect this time the series of issues got all triggered by my self induced overstrain and a bad trip I had earlier in the month plus trying way to soon to carry heavy loads again which must have triggered two issues at the same time.
Excellent information video! You covered everything a non expert should know. Also the part about exercising is brilliant. I get physiotherapy including shock wave therapy at the moment and the physiotherapist told me not to exercise at all - except for swimming - until we finish the ten sessions . The problem is that I exercise at least 30 minutes every day and the less active I am, the "rustier" I feel. Again, thank you very much!
This seems to be the diagnosis for my case, occurring after considerably INcreasing my physical activity again.
Very informative and empowering.
My doctor recently surmised I may have trochanteric bursitis, although what you're saying also could be my issue. I was experiencing pain from hip to toes as well as some numbness in that region. Interestingly, over the last week of not sleeping on that side as recommended and only doing one set of exercises like clamshells, leg raises and bridges, It has improved dramatically. I'm wondering if just having a name to put to my issue somehow relieved it in a sense, even if that's a placebo effect of sorts. I'm excited to try some of the exercises you mentioned here. Thank you for this video.
I was diagnosed with this 3 years ago. My rheumatologist gave me steroid injections in both hips which were brilliant, helped my hips alot
This was helpful. I am 49 and started running again for a half marathon. I am having glute med and hip flexor pain. Thanks!
I definitely had this condition. I had a MRI didn’t show up but the orthopedic Dr. saw some arthritis. I was dragging my leg for 8 months and then poof gone. Thank you so much.
What do you mean with “poof gone” ?
@@taniavallorani9336 meaning the pain was gone.
@@taniavallorani9336 Meaning the pain was gone.
How dis it get better?
@@dave9547 Hi Dave, sorry it was a cat scan I had done. Anyway Dr. didn’t say to go to therapy he just said. No cancer humm. This was 25 yrs ago. Lately within the last 3 yrs I’ve been diagnosed with a trendelenburg gait. I've been to several P.T. Same left side. The hip pain and dragging my foot/leg seemed to go away on its own back then, mind you it took awhile. Now I go to planet fitness made up a routine from different P.T.s and videos . Good luck.
Great video, like the research. New subscriber :) I've had this condition for about 10 years. Every time I try to start running again, it flares up. I'm now working with a physiotherapist who also told me the things you are talking about in the video (sleep with pillow between knees, let the tendon calm down, then start strengthening and testing how much you can load the tendon, e.g.).
Comprehensive as always! 👍👏👏👏
Please don't stop! 🙏
Thank you! Very useful and the video came out just 1 day after I experience with some lateral hip pain.
Wonderful video. You did a great job explaining the problem and solutions.
Great stuff! I'm 66 and have been dealing with on-and-off hip pain (bilateral, boo!) for a couple of years now. I like to remain active, but I had to step back from my 2-mile walks because it was aggravating both hips. But I love to bike and golf, so I'm working hard to make that possible. I've been through a lot of PT over the years, and I must say this is about the best overview I've found. You're absolutely right-- patience, and accepting that there is no quick fix. I'm improving but not where I want to be yet. Although I already do a couple of these exercises, I'm going to pick them all up now. I especially like what you're saying about stretching (not necessarily needed). Some stretches are painful, so I have to realize that I shouldn't do anything that brings pain. Also, the cadence (2 or 3x per week) feels right to me. Need time for rest, and to gauge whether the rest day gives better or worse results. I don't know if it's gluteal tendinopathy or trochanteric bursitis, but my guess is these exercises are good for either. Feeling positive about your approach. Thank you!
Amazing video. Thank you so much. Just to add that tendons have less blood supply make them slow healers.
Excellent information. I’ve been experimenting with changing my gait when walking because I noticed I walk longer and heavier on the sore hip side. It seems promising so far.
My Glute Minimus was very upset. Slowly but surely it is getting better. It takes a lot of time for sure. Building stronger glutes with strength training, balance and stretching. Do not dare to go running until fully pain free. Just being active and eating right. Luckily not overweight or anything.
Every video you make is gold
Such a useful, well-informed video. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. My Dr. diagnosed me with gluteal tindonapathy. But I don't have any pain to the touch or with walking/exercise. I only have pain when laying down or sitting for too long. But it's definitely right at the trocanter. How frustrating 😢
Bingo. Ive been working to strengthen the muscles/structures supporting my knees for the past 4 months. We were doing several of the exercises you mention here. I've had two bouts of debilitating pain. The first was after i over did bridges. The second was about 4 days after a hip, quad, glute workout. I haven't been able to do any significant walking. I can do the 50' to the kitchen, but standing to do tasks hasn't been doable.
Thanks very much for this usefull information.
The only thing that helps my pain is to crack jokes about being a twisted sister. My scoliosis is wreaking havoc with my muscles and tendons and all of the parts actually. The muscles on one side are crowded and shorter causing them to try and compensate. Then the degeneration and bursitis as I age. My golden years seem more like the painful years as I've been dealing with this for 18 years now. I am glad to see that people I assume, who have straight spines get the same issues, and some at fairly younger ages. It's the ole misery loves company, but I wish you all healing and good health.
Recovering from TKR so I can't really do these exercises but going to my primary doc this week so I'll see what going on with this rt hip
This past weekend I was carrying some moderately heavy items in when moving my son into his dorm and that night I started to feel pain in my left hip when walking. Around 9:30 PM I went to dinner and it was mild. By the time dinner was over, the pain was getting pretty bad. By the time we got back to the hotel I could barely walk. All night I was in agony unless I laid flat on my back. For 24 hours I could barely walk. Now it's ~3 days later and I seem to have recovered ~90% but I had all the symptoms described in this video. It was actually radiating pain even if I laid on my right side, despite being the left side that seemed injured. Anyway, thanks for the video clarifying what (probably) happened.
Oh my goodness. This might be why I have so much pain in my hip. I had Lyme disease 6 years ago and it affected my balance and I took a really bad fall off a deck. Since then I've had nothing but pain and aggravation with my right hip. I bruised the right trochanter and the illium crest
Very helpful and informative information. Thank You!
Had left hip replaced 10 mon ago and did follow up with surgeon was told all looks great.
Have pain got cortisone shot may have helped some .Just crossed my leg over other to take off shoe and felt like a hot knife stabbed my hip now back to limping and using cane again.
How can i know what is the cause?Is there a test to tell if it is the prosthesis causing this and what can be done?
Fantastic summary. Great job!
An excellent presentation. Many thanks.
I started having this pain during my last pregnancy at 41. It has something to do with relaxin in my case. It's come back on and off during the last 8 years. I recently went to a chiropractor who does SHAPE therapy and they had me lay on my back and they pressed on the boney prominence on my left hip while I was laying on my back and the pain is gone! They pressed so hard, they practically bruised the bone but I'm back in alignment. I went through some low back pain after the adjustment and now that's going away. Especially for women, this might be an issue.
Pregnancy is very hard and all the organs and bones move. I have a strong intuition that's what happened to me. The timing certainly fit. Interestingly, my mom started having SVT after her pregnancy with me, and this same accupressurist/chiropractor pressed her stomach down and away from the heart area and it's almost gotten rid of her palpitations. This makes so much sense because eating too much or going to the bathroom could trigger them. Even the valsalva maneuver indicates that something is related to the other organs.
Excellent video!! Thanks a lot. Has given me some hope.
I reported serious pain in outer area awakening me doctor internist said bursitis. Soon after after nine miles fell broke femoral stem. I think it fractured on it’s own. Be careful accepting diagnosis. No pain couldn’t move thought out of joint.
Keep up with this educational content, cheers
Excellent video! Very thorough and easy to understand. Woke up with GT yesterday morning. Had no idea what was going on. The more i moved and exercised the pain subsided but came back late in the evening. I slept on my domimant side, where the pain was...now i know better. This morning that area is SUPER SORE and thsts what led me to start looking up video and figure out whats going on. Im in my early 50's, working on a successful healthy lifestyle change, have lost a lot of weight (230 to 176), active every day (10k steps plus workouts) so i was very surprised to see this pain come out of nowhere. Havent done anything different.
My health is so much better and the journey continues one day at a time. I recently was able to stop talking a statin med and metformin for type 2 diabetes. Could this possibly be a reaction from withdrawing from these meds?
Outstanding video thanks very much.
Very educational and organized video . Thank you
Thank you for this comprehensive video.
I was diagnosed with this , I am only 25 but I am very active with football and the gym.
I suffer quite a lot of pain every single day , my right glute is always tired , I’ve noticed this a lot when going up stairs or standing on one leg for more than five seconds. I have tried everything and seen so many physios and doctors and I have still not been able to fix it.
Maybe it’s just time to hang up the football boots and running shoes for good.
I have it too and I’m 26, feel the same way
@ I actually kept going through it and won the most important thing in London for my profession in October. So my advice is to keep it going and just keep going with the rehab . It doesn’t help but it definitely can’t hurt ❤️
What an amazing video so so helpful thank you
Gracias por tanto💐, son Ustedes un grupo maravilloso🥇🥇🏆🥇🥇
Hurt then fell broke femoral stem had anterior hip replacement. Always have had IT band pain. I thought may have fractured bf fall. No bursitis forward …..suspicious . Did run walking on cane now. No arthritis . Age 81 yrs. Can do 4 miles spread on my cane. op
I've had this for 5 years and have been lying on the floor every so often if it's more than a little annoying. Never looked into it, lol. It was AWFUL when I slept on a caught and was on a roadtrip when I didn't have my usual frequent exercise options. Besides keeping limber, I found the side plank made me feel that spot a lot and wondered maybe it meant it needed exercises specific for that spot.
I'm a pilates instructor and I see gluteal tendinopathy frequently in side lying exercises (particularly side lying mermaid on box). Clients I see this being an issue with are usually middle-aged women where pilates is their only exercise. They often ask why they have pain and they haven't even begun the exercise and now I understand this better and the different reasons why.
I do exercise and got it from my first yoga class. I am angry thought Yoga teacher knows what ,ou are doing
This is brilliant. Thank you.
Can we get a video about subacromial bursitis and rehab protocols for alleviating pain?
Is it common to develop gluteus tendinopathy post hip surgery?
I had a hip arthroscopic surgery to fix a tear at the labrum of the hip.
However the MRI scan was false positive for the tear.
One year later after the surgery and rehabilitation i started running 5 times per week.
3 week later I started to feel same symptoms at the hip which was operated.
Great exercises. Can they be done if one has muscle spasms?
Also, hypermobility and myofascial pain disorder can contribute.
Your videos are excellent! Thank you so much!
Can you have all 3, (GTPS, Hip OA and Lumbar Spine (referred)) at the same time?
Great tips!
Thank you so much.
Is the mini stepper beneficial in this case? Or harmful?
Chiropractor adjustments 2 times each month helps. Acupuncture treatments.
Keep symptoms quiet. Must be a better methods ???
Hi. Thank you very much for the valuable content you have been sharing. I have been using this video and your video on groin pain for the past 3 months as I have pain in the groin that extends to the lateral hip when I do "trunk rotation". Similarly I have pain in the lateral hip when I twist my upper body by standing / sitting upright on the floor. The pain is mild - 2 out of 10 - and has not worsened in the last 3 months (despite jogging 2 km everyday in the last 10 days). Am I right in my diagnosis that I may have damaged my groin and hip ? if not, can you pls help me out with an appropriate video of yours! Thanks in advance!
This is such good information.
When is ok to begin doing the functional exercises? On a pain scale, should a patient be at 0/10, 3/10, 5/10? Thank you for your thorough information! One of, if not the, best I've encountered.
I’d love the answer as well!
That must be what's wrong with my left side. Thank you for this information.😊. I actually have been doing what you discussed when using the stairs .. helps. I exercise...but not over doing it. Going to do your exercises.
Bravo 👏👏 by implementing cases, these videos become instant more educational and valuable 😊
Keep up this great content
I got it from lunges and have it for 3 months now. I'm worried it will never go away 😢
I had a liw back operation in 2018 and now suffer from bad bursitus down the righ side of my leg
Yesterday I went for a Rhizotomy so I hope this will help as yhis was very bad could not even lift my right arm
These are the exact same exercises my PT started me on for glute tendinitis with a thickness tear ii was getting better last year this year it’s coming back but I’m an avid bowler age 62 So getting back to these exercises thank you for your explanation Dr’s don’t tell you anything want to shoot you up with steroid injection ugh I prefer dry needling it’s amazing!!
Outstanding thank you
excellent video!
Getting old sucks😂 but thanks I like to run and just turned 43 so I think this explains it. Also do baths in Epsom salts and Rosemary essential oil seems to help ease pain too.
I would like to know how to get rid of bursitis. I have this in my with arthritis. I’ve had MRis done.
I'm 45 yrs women,had severe lateral hip pain on right side initially .after a month started pain on left also ,mri showed bilateral tronchenteric hip bursitis. Past one year my physiotherapy was lots of glute stretch and IT band stretch. Recently another physiotherapist diagnosed my issue as gluteal tendinopathy and started rehab 4 months ago ,I'm still having pain .My pain keeps shifting from left to right.How long would it take for complete recovery.
@Billy-cw4ker I am having the same problem. My pain is shifting from left to right and back again. It is hard to rehab one hip without hurting the other, it seems, at least with some traditional PT exercises.
@@juliejefferson8197has your pain healed,what has helped you
Unfortunately for me, I had pain like this for years now (I am 33) and when I went to the doctor I was diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis and will be replacing my hip at the end of the year 😢
Hope it goes well. Check out our videos on the topic if you haven't already.
I hurt my left shin and it got infected, I could not stand on it, I had to put all my weight on my right leg, I think over using my right leg. About 2 weeks after the accident with my left leg my right hip suddenly had this incredible pain deep in the hip and butt and thigh and just below the rt knee. I had been thrown/pushed to the by a massive marble table. But I had no pain in my hip or back at the time because some boxes broke my fall.
I think I've damaged my hip by putting all the weight on it for so long. I have stairs in my place and I'm I'll be 74 in a week. I had an MRI and a CT scan and they want me to see a back surgeon in April. I think its my hip, they think its my spine.
I had an issue with right hip and tried a cortisone shit and pt and it helped me to walk but didnt fix it. Now my left hip has pain too. I am debating prp injections.
should you strengthen the short external rotators of the hip if you have gluteal tendinopathy.
You can. Doesn't hurt to add 1-2 exercises (unless it actually hurts or worsens symptoms...).
I don't know what I have,but I feel pain on my right hip whenever I stand,I have to kick out my leg before I get relief
