Hip pain after using the inclined walking machine |

Dear Ask The Doctor: I'm very active, I do a lot of walking with incline on machine, experiencing pan on the ruight side of my hip where it connects to pelvic bone, is this muscle or bone issue? Dear Asmaa: Possibly you are experiencing an episode of Hip bursitis, which is an inflammation of the hip bursa caused by repetitive use, trauma, infection, or systemic inflammatory disease, in your case maybe the repetitive use of the incline walking machine or even daily living activities might be causing the pain. Bursae are flattened sacs that serve as a protective buffer between bones and overlapping muscles (deep bursae) or between bones and tendons/skin (superficial bursae). These synovial-lined sacs are filled with minimal amounts of fluid to facilitate movement during muscle contraction. Deep bursae, such as the subacromial (shoulder) and iliopsoas (hip) bursae, are located in the fascia. Symptoms of bursitis may or not include localized tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or reduced /limited movement. Most likely the treatment for bursitis conservative and aimed to reduce inflammation and of course the pain. Conservative treatment includes rest, local cold and heat treatments, elevation, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (“Motrin”, “Aleve”), and of course avoid for now all the activities that worsen the pain. |
