Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Trochanteric bursitis
I had assumed the excruciating, bilateral hip pain I had been experiencing since I started fitness walking in May was arthritis. According to my doctor, whom I saw today, it's more likely bursitis. The key symptom, she said, was my complaint of pain on my hips so severe, it hurt to lie on either side and intefered with my sleep. So, I have a scrip for Voltaren and a referral to the orthopedics clinic. And an order to stop fitness walking. I can continue water aerobics. I can switch to the stationary bike and start strength training when the new gym opens next month. I can buy a real bike and pedal around the lake instead of walk. I can ride a real bike to the new gym. I'll adjust. As always, YMMV.

Then mine must be arthritis not bursitis because doing T'ai Chi and Tae Bo and lawn mowing and walking get rid of the pain. > Interesting.

I have arthritis in my wrists, right shoulder and left knee; I may have it in my hips as well, my doctor pointed out. X-rays at the orthopedic clinic might help clarify the diagnosis and treatment. The descriptions of bursitis I have since read on the Web match my symptoms. The pain eased somewhat when I substituted water aerobics for walking three days a week. And the pain got worse when I increased my land-based activity, such as dancing earlier this month. Fortunately, bursitis can go away. I need to follow my own oft-repeated advice and do what my doctor says. As always, YMMV. Kasey 365/248/??? > So, I have a scrip for Voltaren and a referral to the orthopedics > clinic.

SignatureWalking (but mostly biking!) on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 Sorry to hear about it Kasey. News like this can be a real mood buster. I am sure that you can stay on your course, after making adjustments. Just today I learned that I have a growing nodule on the place where half of my thyroid was removed due to adenoma 10 years ago. The nodule is hypoechoic and is about 1x1x1 cm. i > I had assumed the excruciating, bilateral hip pain I had been > experiencing since I started fitness walking in May was arthritis.
