Trochanteric bursitis
The trochanteric bursa is located over the prominent bone on the side of the hip. Women
and middle-aged to older people are more often affected by this type of bursitis. It may
occur spontaneously without specific injury. Also, it can be caused by walking abnormally
due to arthritis in the hip, knee, ankle, foot, or back. Symptoms include pain gradually
occurring over the side of the hip (and sometimes traveling down the thigh); pain when
sleeping on the side affected by bursitis, rising from a deep chair, sitting in a car, or
climbing stairs; and occasionally, pain when walking. |
