Bursitis

[Nymzee]

Anyone ever had bursitis before? Especially round the hip/lower back area? Cba going to the doctors tomorrow if it is just that but the symptoms are vague online.

Basically above hip, a bit round the back and front is really sensitive to the touch and aches constantly. Can’t lay on it and sitting down even hurts after a while. Maybe done it running/football. Just seeing if anyone has had it and can describe what it felt like.

I had it for a short whilie and it felt like that.
Was cured quickly with some stretches as I recall, given by a physio.

Doctors the right place to go though? I always hate going if I feel like I’m wasting their time.

Had it in my knee when I was much younger...surgery, never had an issue since.

Not if you're uncomfortable and its an ongoing issue. Otherwise I believe you can self refer to a physio?
I didn't go specifically with mine - I was seeing a specialist with my ACL problem and happened to mention it.

Never try and self diagnose through dr google. See a gp.

Never normally would just got curious. I’ll see what they say tomorrow. Normally I’d just leave someone to fix itself but not sure I can with this.

Mine wasn't painful, BTW, but my knee looked like someone had taken a club to it because of the inflammation. Don't assume it's bursitis. Could be something else.

Dont bother with the doctors just lay down on some sawdust for 2 hours you be be as right as rain.

Yeh there's no swelling, redness etc. don't feel sick etc. so don't think it's a fever/virus. Hurts even when you put clothing onto the area.

Well I'm no doc but, if that's the case, it may be a nerve thing as just something tactile like that shouldn't be causing pain. Just go have it checked out, could easily be something that just needs time/rest.

I had something like that a couple of years ago, I treated it with the cold and hot remedy.Took about a week.to ease.

Yeh think I'll skip work in the morn and try get in at my doctors; no point leaving it and it just getting worse.

I had olecranon bursitis once. It was weird but only lasted a few days and hasn't been a problem since.

Get a tens machine, with different settings ( about 30/40 quid ) they can work wonders for stuff like this.

They sell them in the likes of Argos and are dead easy to use.

I`ve had ongoing problems with my left foot from running and the tens machine deffo works in alleviating the pain.
