I was actually just coming to update how physio went!
I see Dr. Shukla @ Sports Medicine Specialists next week, normally I would see Dr. Clarfield but I don't want to wait. He's been my sports doc for 13 years though!
Anyways, apparently I don't have bursitis at all. No pain when the bursa was touched/pressure was put on it.
However, my capsule is extremely inflexible - barely any movement in it, if I'm using the right terms. The range of motion in the joint itself is okay though.
What my physio thinks happened is I fell, got bursitis, which has resolved, but I now have the biomechanical issues that resulted. Like Ruley, I have an extremely weakened glute, and the tightened capsule. She had me put my ankle on my leg and let my leg fall, and my capsule is so tight my left leg doesn't fall at all.
She was surprised I can run 12k pain-free.
So I have stretches, exercises, and did acupuncture today which actually helped a lot. I also have an acupressure point to work on to get at the capsule, and when my tattoo is more healed ART.
I am still going to ask for diagnostics next week - this has been going on for long enough I want to get this right - but I think this is a good thing, if it's correct. Certainly the treatment so far has helped a lot with the pain.
