I think I’m between you and Chris. I have had pretty intense pain on the outer/upper side of my right butt now for about 2 months. That is totally different from my decades-long Sciatica pain. Close, but further out, and not radiating. Because of breast cancer issues I was worried about bone metastasis, but x-ray shows all is good. so, yes, I am sure it is an inflamed bursa. Very uncomfortable, and some days I am almost tempted to have a cortisone shot, and/or take pain pills. So far - nope. Exercise seems to help, so does swimming. And applying ice/heat, which I don’t do enough of. But it sure is really not good when you start your morning needing to sit on the toilet seat, and your bursitis won’t let you sit. That it hurts too much to be lowered at that squatting position.
