What are the symptoms of this? I have a labral tear in my left hip dx'd 2 years ago. Hasn't bothered me a bit. Last 2 weeks with almost ZERO running my left hip has been aching and aching. I can barely sit at work without downing pain killers, special chair etc...still in a lot of pain. Walking and standing I have zero pain. I have pain in my si joint, down along the side of my leg, even my quad hurts..my seat bone is killing me too..just so many places that hurt on the left hip area that I have no idea what's going on. I have a appt. with a good hip Dr. but that's not till Nov. 4th.
I am certainly no expert but your issue sounds more like a sciatica issue (inflamed or aggravated) than bursitis. it usually calms over time, maybe a month or so. Your Dr. appointment is a very good idea as there are many things that can cause pain like this.
I had bursitis in my shoulders few couple years ago and it took about 6 months to go away. Even a shot of steroids in each shoulder did not do much. It just took time - but it did wean away and I am 100% now. I never did figure out what caused it but, fortunately it has not returned.
