Bursitis

I have had hip bursitis since January 2001, and it hasn’t gone away. The general recommendations are to think about what caused it, and don’t do that any more. Hip bursitis can often be caused by a tight piriformis muscle. Tight muscles respond well to exercise (that doesn’t exacerbate it - listen to your body). I take 500 mg of glucosamine daily for osteoarthritis in my knees; if I stop taking it, my knees start to ache about a week later.
