YOGYAKARTA - Pain in the area around the hips is often considered normal, especially if you have just been doing strenuous activity or sitting for too long. However, don't trivialize the pain that comes suddenly and feels like a stab, especially when walking or climbing stairs. It could be that the cause is not just an attracted muscle, but a medical condition called burstitis. A minor injury around the waist can actually be a trigger for this problem.

Bursitis itself is inflammation in the stock exchange, which is a small bag containing a liquid that functions to reduce friction between body tissues such as muscles, tendons, and bones. If the exchange experiences irritation due to pressure or trauma, a pain that is often suspected comes from the waist or lower back.

Hips and pelvis are located in different positions but close to each other. Panggul is the lower part of the stomach which consists of the structure of the plenary bone or pelvic bone and organs in it such as the bladder, uterus, etc. Often called the pelvis area, but hips are known as hips, which is where the legs (femur) meet the bones of the pelpvis.

Citing Harvard Health, Friday, July 18, pain in the hip area of the main source can be due to muscles and soft tissue around it, including the exchange. Minor injuries, such as colliding or misposition during exercise, can trigger inflammation of this exchange, especially in major rotators or the outside of the upper thighbone which is close to the hip. This is often referred to as trochanteric exchangeitis.

Bursitis can arise due to repeated stress on one side of the body, poor posture while sitting or sleeping, as well as persistent minor injuries. Citing the Cleveland Clinic, if you experience deteriorating pain while standing for a long time, up stairs, or even just touching the outside of your hips, this could be a sign of an exchangeitis caused by injury or local irritation.

Some typical symptoms of hip burstitis include:

These symptoms can be similar to other conditions such as radikulopathy or pain due to nerves pinched in the lower back, so an accurate diagnosis is very important.

Anything that irritates or damages the exchange near the major trakanter (the bulge of the upper thigh bone on the outside of the hip) can cause trochanteric burstitis. Some of the most common causes include:

As explained above, in addition to certain activities that cause burstitis need to be limited to prevent it from getting worse. It should be noted that high risk factors for exchangeitis are experienced by athletes, people who do physical or manual work, and people who have undergone surgery on the hips. A person with arthritis, psoriasis, diabetes, and thyroid disease is also at risk of developing trochanteric bursitis.

Burstitis handling usually does not require surgery. The first step you can take at home is to rest a sick area and avoid activities that exacerbate pain. Compress cold water on the painful part to reduce inflammation, and use non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain temporarily according to the doctor's instructions.

In some cases, physical therapy is very helpful to strengthen muscles around the hips and improve body posture. If pain continues, doctors can give corticosteroid injections directly to the exchange to relieve inflammation.

If the pain continues for more than two weeks even though you have been resting and using anti pain medication, or if the pain feels really great and interferes with daily activities, you should immediately consult a doctor. Examinations such as MRI or ultrasound can be done to ensure diagnosis and get rid of other possible problems.

Trochanteric burstitis on the hips may sound trivial, but if left unchecked, it can limit your movement and interfere with your quality of life. It should be understood, minor injuries can also be a cause of hip pain, especially if they happen repeatedly.
