Bursitis Hip

        The hip joint is formed by the lower member of the hip bone and the head of the femur. The most common causes of hip pain are:

• Osteonecrosis
• Hip bursitis
• Clicking on the hip joint
• Meralgia parasthetica
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Infections (septic arthritis)
• A number of specific disorders of childhood: congenital hip dysplasia

       Osteonecrosis as osteoarthritis is related to trauma (sprains and fractures of the femoral head), but is also associated with alcoholism, use of corticosteroids, systemic lupus erythematosus, sickle cell anemia, although in many cases their appearance is not related to any of these factors. In addition, the osteonecrosis of the femoral head is the cause of osteoarthritis of the hip. The bursitis hip is often associated with people who do lots of exercise, eg jogging. Meralgia paresthetica is associated with: direct compression by clothing and obesity.

       When friction occurs between muscles, tendons and bones, there is usually a structure called a bursa. A bursa is a thin sac of tissue that contains fluid to lubricate the area and reduce friction. The bursa is a normal structure. The body produces even bursae in response to friction.

       Generally, the bursitis hip affects the pelvic cavity and causes hypersensitivity, pain and swelling on the outside of the hip muscles. Also, the bursitis hip can cause discomfort that spreads to the buttocks and knee downward. In addition, activities such as brisk walking, aerobic dance or carrying may the causes of bursitis. Similarly, bursitis hip can also be caused by conditions that alter the normal tilt of the pelvis, such as having one leg shorter than the other. The hip may develop diverse injuries, that's way is necessary to consult a specialist.

       How can you prevent bursitis hip?

• Avoid activities that raise one of your hips above the other for extended periods of time, like running on an uneven surface. Running on a treadmill can keep your hips level.
• Warm up before exercising and cool down after it, stretch your hips, lower back and thighs.
• Avoid falls.
• Use hip pads in contact sports like football and hockey.
• Learn how to prevent osteoporosis.
• Never carry excess weight if you have hip pain.

       The massage is reducing the degree of effort of the joint, regaining it's mobility. Indeed, massage is a highly recommended treatments for sore hip, pelvis, back and neck pain. It is important to note that under no circumstances you should force a movement or massage on an inflamed arthritic joint. In addition, you must proceed gradually on the joint that has been immobilized for years. Bursitis hip is relatively common in physically active patients and in sedentary people.

       Morbidity includes chronic pain, lameness, and pain associated with sleep disorders that occur when the patient is lying on the affected side.

       Bursitis hip can occur in adults of any age, but patients are mostly women, usually with some degree of obesity. Bursitis hip can occur after total hip arthroplasty or other hip surgery. The cause may be a combination of changes in the way to work the hip joint, the way the prosthesis is placed, the alignment, or the way scar tissue is left after the healing of the incision.

       A fall on the hip can cause bleeding into the bursa and the formation of a hematoma. The bleeding is not serious, but the bursa may react to bleeding with inflammation. The inflammation makes the bursa become thicker with time. This thickening, constant irritation and inflammation can lead to chronic bursitis. When friction occurs between muscles, tendons and bones, there is usually a structure called a bursa. A bursa is a thin sac of tissue that contains fluid to lubricate the area and reduce friction. The bursa is a normal structure. The body produces even bursae in response to friction.
