Anybody suffered with hip bursitis? I've got some pain when off the bike lately on the upper outside of the thigh and the glut area is sore if I press on it. Does this sound like bursitis possibly caused by ITB issues?
GP first for scans first, surely? I recently had a trapped nerve there, was bedridden for a couple of days, GP suspected bursitis but the xrays came back normal so physio it is.
I think the pain is too mild yet for the docs.
There's no bursae there that I know of. Piriformis maybe?
Booked physio appointment for tomorrow. Pain worse today. it's more on the outside of the upper thigh rather than my glute area.
sciatica.
GP first for scans first, surely?
IME, physios are more able to diagnose & treat sports injuries than your common or garden GP.
A good physio will refer you to a GP if it's serious enough to warrant further investigations.
Hurts more when I twist my foot to the outside or when I cross my leg over the other.
Sound like muscular or joint pain?
Been to the physio, said it was IT band playing up. Had accupuncture and massage, still really painful. It's affecting me sleeping on either side and takes me a while to get out of the car!
I thought ITBS usually affects runners. What else has puzzled me is it was fine when I last cycled but came on over the next day or two and has got gradually worse since.
