Treatment of Hip Bursitis

Hip bursitis is a very common disease in daily life. It not only causes great harm to the patient's physical health, but also seriously affects their normal life and work. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand relevant knowledge and find scientific and effective treatment methods. The treatment of this disease requires choosing appropriate treatment methods based on the patient's own physical condition.

Lifting heavy objects can cause hip bursitis. Excessive fatigue and overwork can cause the joint capsule to be stretched or squeezed. The hip bursa is located around the hip tendons and joints and contains a small amount of synovial fluid, which mainly reduces friction and cushions shock. When the bursa is inflamed, the synovial fluid increases significantly. Most of the time, it is non-bacterial inflammation, which is mostly caused by long-term excessive abduction and external rotation of the lower limbs, such as jumping, splitting, standing or walking on hard ground for a long time, sitting on hard chairs for a long time, and being exposed to wind, cold and dampness.

Steps/Methods:

1 Generally, symptoms such as hip pain, swelling, and lameness that occur immediately after an acute injury are easier to detect. Hip joint pain, the pain may be located on the outside of the hip joint, buttocks or groin, and is more obvious when walking or going upstairs; however, many patients only feel discomfort in the affected limb after the injury and walk as usual. It is only after 2 to 3 days or longer that they feel soreness in the affected limb and have difficulty walking.

2 The affected limb cannot stand, walk, limp or move around, the hip joint is tender, and the pain worsens when the joint is moved; the hip joint range of motion is decreased, there is a sound when the hip is flexed, and the affected limb appears to be extended. Sometimes swelling of the lateral side of the hip joint may occur. At this time, X-rays cannot show any abnormalities of the hip joint, but CT or IBM imaging can show fluid accumulation in the synovial bursa.

3 If the hip joint is not very painful or the pain is relieved, the patient will keep limping when walking or insist on working. These patients may experience shortening of the affected limb. At this time or for a longer period of time, clinical examination may show stiffness of hip joint movement and a significantly reduced range. Early signs of degeneration and necrosis of femoral head necrosis may be seen on CT or IBM imaging.

Note:

The most important. You should try to avoid activities that may aggravate the disease, such as going up and down stairs, running, etc. You should choose a softer seat or one with an inflatable air cushion. When the pain is relieved, you can gradually resume exercise.
