What Causes Stiffness And Mild Pain In The Hip Area?
I have been having some stiffness or dull ache on what I think is called a T band near my hip region (left side only) I can t determine whether it is bursitis or arthritis or something else. How long can bursitis last ? The pain in not constant, I m still very flexible and can do yoga, jog and walk several miles . Any ideas on what it could be. Thank you YYYY@YYYY

Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to solve it.
As you have stiffness and mild pain in the hip area , it may be joint damage or muscle strain or bone damage. If bursitis it may take 4 to 6 weeks to heal.
I suggest to take x ray of hip for rule out causes. Also take rest for few days. Use ice pack on local area. Take tab ibuprofen or Dan P for it.
If you cant get relief from it than consult a good orthopedic doctor for it.
I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
