@maryflorida I just do general exercises but I guess they apparently do something that helps. I follow YouTube exercise videos and I try to walk when possible. I don't like walking in my neighborhood because it's hilly and that bothers my bursitis but the flat trail I enjoy does not get plowed or cleared of snow so for now I can't use it.

I had sciatica in the summer of 2019 and it was quite different from bursitis for me. It went down the back of my leg and the pain was more acute. Then I spent 6 hours in a car (back and forth) driving somewhere and two hours between the going and returning sitting. The next day the pain was so severe that I actually had a pre-syncope episode which caused me to fall on my kitchen tile floor. I had a minimally displaced trochanteric femur fracture from that which then caused me to get a DEXA which is when I discovered that I had osteoporosis. The worst thing for sciatica is sitting for long apparently, whereas when I have had periods of recuperation and sat a lot it helped my bursitis.

I haven't been riding my recumbent bike much recently because I do so many other exercises so that may also be contributing to my bursitis not being as bad as it had been.

Supposedly physical therapy helps bursitis. I have been through that a couple of times and I guess it did give me some minor relief but it was not a huge help. I am amazed that the exercises I do, mostly aerobic but they entail a lot of jogging in place, that type of thing, seem to have helped.

I just checked YouTube and there are Iliotibial Band Exercises on there too. One is by "Bob and Brad" who are physical therapists and they do suggest good exercises generally. I have not checked them out on this, but I find that they talk too much! I tend to like to get down to business and it takes them forever to do that.

Yes, it helps me. I just have to stay away from flour! I don’t understand, but it does help! Thanks for asking.
