Hip Bursitis

Source: Health Touch Online

What are the signs and symptoms of hip bursitis?

The pain may be over the outside of your hip and thigh. The pain may be in your buttock and later move into the hip. The pain may also be in one side of the groin with some milder pain in the opposite hip.

Pressing on your hip or turning your hip and leg inward as you flex your hip may make the pain worse. The pain may be worse when getting up from a deep chair or getting out of a car. You may have trouble sleeping because the pain may be worse at night. Pressing on your groin may make the pain worse.
