What are the signs and symptoms of hip bursitis?
Hip bursitis usually causes pain, aching, and stiffness. Pain is different depending on the type of hip bursitis you have. • The pain may be over the outside of your hip and thigh. The pain may be in your buttock and later move into the hip. The pain may also be in one side of the groin with some milder pain in the opposite hip. • Pressing on your hip or turning your hip and leg inward as you flex your hip may make the pain worse. The pain may be worse when getting up from a deep chair or getting out of a car. You may have trouble sleeping because the pain may be worse at night. Pressing on your groin may make the pain worse. • Your hip may feel stiff and not be able to move as well as before. You may hear a “pop” or “snap” as you flex or pull your leg up. Walking up stairs may be harder to do.
