JABrown0407, your mention of the trochantor bursitis came at a informative time for me. I recently saw my PA for my hip replacement surgeon and he located a very tender spot on my outer hip that was no doubt what you described. Now my other hip is also complaining. I have already started icing both areas and limiting activity out of necessity. I hope that the stifness I experience in my legs will dwindle if I treat the bursitis properly. Boy, bodies sure are complicated! (On the plus side, my xrays looked good.)

I have appreciated the trochanter bursitis discussion. In September I will be two years out from my Dx, on August 15th, 2021 I took my last prednisone medication. The only remaining symptom is the bilateral trochanter bursitis. My doctor said my labs are good and I’m over PMR, but the pain is so annoying. I can not sleep on either side. It is so difficult to sleep on my back all night. I take no medication for pain, continue to walk 10,000 steps a day, ironically the pain does lessen a little, if I exercise regularly. Thank you for this website and the ability to see other peoples experience, it means so much.

I also have tender hip spots that limit my ability to sleep on my side and activity. Thank you for the helpful information. Best wishes.
