I have been trying for two years to figure out what is wrong with my hips. My doctor has been no help other than to recommend some physical therapy which did nothing - because they never diagnosed the problem! Every single thing you said in this video about the cause and the exercises related to bursitis - is exactly my scenario. From the cause to the symptoms to the exercise that hit the exact spots of my pain. I have a terrible time sleeping because of this so this has a serious effect on my whole life. You have no idea how important this video has been to me! Thank you so much. At least now I know the problem I can start to focus on how to improve my situation. I really appreciate you taking the time to post this.

I’m 72, people, and I have arthritis everywhere! Three back surgeries and a total knee replacement(🇨🇦). I’ve just been diagnosed with GT Bursitis. Oh, yay. You two are brilliant, you talk like my massage therapist ! USE A CANE OR WALKER, people! I’ve seen too many folk hitching and 'cripping' and looking like FOOLS! Seriously! These two are right. Take their advice and get living!!❤️🇨🇦❤️

Thank you guys. I’m a 65 year female going for plantar fasciitis PT and now I have left hip bursitis. Boy it sucks getting old.

Mine would get worse when sleeping because I sleep on my back, and no matter what pillows or devices I used to try prevent the hip rolling outward, still, it would roll out, and I would wake up hollering in pain. It was a soft strap around the knees, just above the knees, that has allowed me to heal a lot and sleep through the night. This has helped for two years now.

I love the way you guys subtly correct eachother, great banter! Have been enjoying your YouTube videos for years!

Hi guys, I have a suggestion about the pillow between the legs: I made a kind of sausage- cushen from an old sleeping back. I rolled it up and made a long cover for it. During the day it is on the top of the bed and during the night I use it as a kind of cuddling pillow, to embrase it with my arms and legs (between the knees). It works good!

[brendanbradford]

Once again you have helped me! I’m a runner (and a PA) and I turn to you for myself and sometimes patients to see if I can avoid going to PT (it’s so expensive!!!) and you always help.

[stephaniebiley]

Wow I really felt the abduction and reverse clam shell one. I’m only 20 and I really suffer from hip pain

Last time I had this I ended up getting steroid injection. Worked wonders and lasted yrs. Flared up again with incr driving. My TENS machine is saving my sleep and works quite well but only when its on.

The exercise with resistant band gave me some instant relief, starts to come back soon after but the instant release makes me hopefully it is hitting the spot. Will keep trying these!

[yveclark]

You're fantastic. Ther pillow is a life saver. I get sleep, , !
I was diagnosed with one leg longer than the other after a knee replacement and d developed bursitis on that side. I don't want injections again, they work, but the hassle is not worth it t if I can avoid it. I am lucky in n that I've discovered a cheap firm foam shoe insert on ebay that is the same thickness as the expensive ones the physiotherapist prescribed and I just put them in any new shoes. I even glue it then in my new sandals!
I do get flare ups from gardening now and then, but they are short lived now.
You are our first port of call for any pain. I tell everyone about you.
