Bursitis of the Hip Joint
This is the inflammation [3] that occurs in the bag of the hip joint (mucous bag). Signs of inflammation include pain in the hip joint from the buttocks or in the sciatic muscle, pain when trying to lie on an inflamed hip joint, when pressing on the hip joint, getting up from a sitting position, going up or downstairs. Inflammation can be caused by various causes, for example, a bruised hip, overloading of the hip joint while running, jumping, or standing for a long time, and poor posture. To pinpoint the cause of the pain, an anesthetic medication is injected into the mucous bag. This is used to make sure that when the pain caused by bursitis is eliminated, there is no other pain that interferes or manifest. For the treatment of inflammation of the hip joint, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers, and injections of corticosteroids and growth factors in the hip joint are used. They quickly reduce pain and swelling, which is why they are often used in cases where NSAIDs are not working or the person has an intolerance to these drugs. After consulting an orthopedic traumatologist, physiotherapy is recommended.
