What are the symptoms of Hip Bursitis?

Symptoms of hip bursitis are:

• Sharp pain, swelling around the affected area
• Warmth to the touch
• Limited movement
• Tenderness and joint pain
• Pain after sitting for too long
• Limited movement and weakened muscles

What are the risk factors of Hip Bursitis?

Major risk factors that may lead to the development of this condition are:

• Repetitive stress or injury: Associated with activities like running, cycling, standing for long hours.
• Hip injury: A direct injury to the hip may lead to hip bursitis
• Spine disease: Such as arthritis of the lumbar spine, scoliosis
• Inequality in the length of legs: May lead to inflammation of the bursa
• Rheumatoid arthritis may lead to the development of this condition
• Previous surgical procedures around the hip
• Bone spurs or calcium deposits

What are the complications of Hip Bursitis?

An untreated condition of hip bursitis will eventually lead to chronic bursitis that will result in the build-up of calcium in soft tissues, which will result in a permanent loss of movement of that area.
