I have been getting pain in my right hip and feel that it is buckling. I haven t had trauma to the area that I am aware of. It started off not very often, but now I can t take a few steps without feeling pain and the buckling sensation. Rest doesn t seem to help. I have a history of chronic trochanteric bursitis in both hips, but worse in my right. I have previously had steroid injections in both hips, but had no pain or discomfort for over 5 years
