Greater Trochanteric Bursitis
Sub-4 Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Clinic in Staffordshire, West Midlands
Greater Trochanteric Bursitis
Greater Trochanteric Bursitis is hip pain caused by inflammation of the fluid-filled sac, or bursa, on the outer edge of your hip, that may also travel down the outer side of the leg. In many people the pain is caused by a problem with tendons of some of the muscles that work in conjunction with the hip, referred to as tendinopathy.
Trochanteric bursitis affects the femur, the outer thighbone at the edge of the hip. This bony area is called the greater trochanter. Bursae cushion between the bones and soft tissues to bones from rubbing against muscles and tendons.
If you are suffering hip pain from a fall or exercise, then its a good idea to get it assessed by Musculoskeletal Podiatrist to help you understand the pain and to check for underlying issues.
Greater Trochanteric Bursitis
A Bruised heel is actually an injury to the deep heel pad which covers the backside of the main heel bone. The heel pad consists of a thick tissue which situates just under the big toe bone.
Bruised heels can occur due to various reasons, such as sudden twisting, pounding or twisting of bones near the heels, sports injuries, arthritis, and many more.
Bruising of this kind can also be caused due to physical stress, excessive bending and stretching, improper shoe wear and tear, and other injuries to the foot.
