3 Tests To Quickly Check If Your Hip Pain Is Hip Tendonitis

Published 2022-03-04
Hip tendonitis usually comes on suddenly and the pain can be very sharp. It’s usually mistaken for hip arthritis, but there are easy ways to tell them apart.

You can do these tests on yourself quickly so you can determine if you’ve got hip tendonitis.

Hip tendonitis comes from an overuse of the hip muscles. Then tendon is what connects the muscle to the bone. In tendonitis (tendon inflammation) the tendon become irritated from being overloaded. Then it hurts more to use the muscle and tendon again.

Tendonitis is typically 100% curable as long as the person experiencing it gets started on the right treatment. If you’ve had tendonitis for more than 2-3 months, you must be doing something wrong. Even healthcare professionals can be unsure of how to handle tendonitis properly.

Anti-inflammatory medications are usually prescribed by doctors and in severe cases, cortisone injections are used for pain relief and to stop inflammation.

This is a band-aid solution as the root problem was usually over-use of the muscles. Most people recover after resting it and modifying their physical activity levels so that it is more gradual.

  • @thinman8621
    Thank you for your help. I think I know what my problem is, so I can now begin working on getting better.
  • @marianatera631
    I really appreciate your videos! So informative & educational!
  • @erincann3516
    Thank you so much for this information. I have been trying to figure out what this hip pain was and now I know and can approach a treatment plan correctly. So many thanks!
  • @fredbrillo1849
    Very good info. My problem is that when I sit for short periods, then stand to walk, the first steps on my right leg produce sharp, intense pain in my hip that radiates down to my knee.
  • @mandamorris7934
    I was diagnosed with severe tendonitis... this is a comfort ... almost a second opinion
  • I passed all the other tests you mentioned for tendinitis. However it is not tender to the touch. Still tendinitis? I do not have symptoms of arthritis either. Hurts when I sit in certain positions or sleep on it. My flares seem to come and go which makes me think I’m not letting it fully heal! And yet it never hurts from working out. I’ve had it flare simply from walking. Mostly sitting/sleeping positions hurt it
  • @debrahenze5734
    How about after a hip replacement? I had it in June of 2023 and have been struggling with hip, back, thigh and leg pain ever since?
  • I hurt my hip by thinking , I’m so much better I’ll exercise more . More wasn’t a great idea🙃
  • @LisaDawnn
    I have/had bone-on-bone arthritis (probably a direct result of having systemic lupus my whole adult life). I opted to get one hip replaced about 10 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Now I'm dealing with my other hip that has developed tendonitis and bursitis as well and is affecting my entire thigh area, butt and down into my knee. Although my first hip replacement was easy-breezy (I literally went home the next morning) I still want to 'fix' this remaining hip naturally if possible. I am 63 now. In roughly good health. Not overweight. Exercise almost daily but this just seems to be getting worse. Can my arthritis be too far gone (if it was bone on bone 10 yrs ago)? Is there ever a situation when exercise and stretching just won't cut it anymore? PS- I don't really do doctors. Haven't seen one since my hip replacement. I love this channel! I wish you did house calls :)
  • @marim7784
    This was all precipitated by a long drive- over 12 hours of sitting in one day. Is it possibly tendinitis?
  • Reassuring thank you - I can feel the “knot” if I lie on a ball - excruciating but does lessen - is this glute medius or must I worry re piriformus and which are best stretches
  • @robyt6626
    Translate on Google, sorry Can it be that the pain in the greater trochanter has an effect on the lateral hip muscles? Here in particular the gluteus medius. Example of possible cause and effect: I have greater trochanter pain when lying on a thin mat, not when normal sleeping. If I walk normally, after about 100m I get cramping pains in the hip area or in the area of ​​the gluteus medius and cannot go any further at first.
