Arthritis means joint inflammation.. It causes pain and swelling in the body's joints, such as the knees or hips. There are many types of arthritis, but osteoarthritis is the most common.
At times, this bursa can become inflamed, leading to significant pain over the side of the hip. Trochanteric bursitis can occur from direct pressure, after injury or with overuse, but is also linked to tears of the gluteus medius. The gluteus medius is one of the key muscles surrounding the hip. This muscle starts in the buttock and attaches at the greater trochanter, on the side of the hip. Activation of the gluteus medius allows us to lift our leg to the side (abduct). Tendonitis or tears of the gluteus medius can occur after injury or with long-term wear and tear. These tears generally cause pain and weakness on the side of the hip (not the groin). The iliotibial band is a stiff band of tissue that runs along the outside or lateral part of the leg from hip to knee.
