Hello, I am happy to find this group. In 2024 I did an ankle replacement and got rid of my worst chronic pain. Now dealing with lower back pain and hip bursitis (Trochanteric) on the right side. March 6th I got up from a seated position and something in the hip popped and I have had bad pain ever since. I can't sit for more than 10-15 minutes without getting up and stretching. I have exercises I do twice a day and ice seems to help. Swimming helps (kicking with a paddle board or backstroke helps a lot). My favorite stroke (breast stroke is way too painful). I am wondering if anyone in this group has found a seat cushion that helps hip bursitis? If so, please share what works for you.

@dmoreci Has anyone gone over your diet yet? Cut out sugar and all that life saving, healthy eating lifestyle?
Inflammation is one of the main causes of disease and injuries. It's also caused from carbs and sugar. Or if you had an accident. Praying for you, I have sever spine and sciatica pain and I'm on a walker again after 2 years of being out of a wheelchair. I had a horrible surgical experience with Cleveland Clinic spine. Still with a new MRI they won't be honest. Taking my MRI elsewhere as I found they lied twice since my surgery. Completely inexcusable. Watch out for hospitals.
