5. Pain through the Back and Legs
Bursitis in the hip will often only cause a person to experience pain in the hip or pelvis and groin area. However, there are times when bursitis may cause a person to experience pain that radiates throughout the legs and in the lower part of the back. This can cause the leg and possibly the feet to feel numb.
Most often this pain will be experienced during certain movements. When this happens the best thing that you can do is to stop doing that particular movement and rest as much as possible. Rest is one of the best treatments for hip bursitis. Limiting walking and stretching can help to allow the bursa time to heal.
Ice and possible physical therapy are common treatments for hip bursitis. It is important to discuss different treatment options with your doctor if you are experiencing this type of pain so that you can heal properly and alleviate the pain.
