Inflamed Great Trochanter Muscle?

You don't mention the cause of the inflammation in the great trochanter muscle. Is that because you yourself have not been advised of the cause?

For the past year I have been suffering from trochanteric and iliopsas bursitis. This is inflammation of the external (trochanteric) and internal (iliopsas) bursa of the hip - the bursa are fluid filled sacs around the joints that allow the joints to move freely without friction.

The inflammation of the hip bursa caused my thigh muscles to spasm - much the same pain as you described - a stabbing pain and it was almost impossible to walk any distance without the muscles going into spasm.

My GP sent me for an x-ray and the results showed osteoarthritis in the hip. To cut a long story short I have both osteoarthritis and sacroiliac joint disorder both of which are the cause of the inflammation to the hip bursa.

Is it possible you have an arthritic condition of the hip which may require surgery?

In the meantime, your GP may be able to prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac (cox-1 inhibitor) or arcoxia (cox-2 inhibitor). However due to your aspirin allergy (aspirin blocks both cox-1 and cox-2 enzymes - responsible for inflammation) this type of anti-inflammatory may not be suitable for you.

Lastly - have you been referred for physiotherapy?

I too walked a great deal (since I don't drive) but a combination of prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, and rest has improved the condition gradually over the year. I also found that using a walking stick when the muscles spasms were frequent helped to reduce the pain. I am now at the stage where the spasms have stopped and I am almost walking normally.

I really hope you get to the root of the problem since I have some understanding of how painful and debilitating this condition can be. Many kind regards.

ZAKIIT - in response to your additional information - there is an over-the-counter painkiller called Syndol, which is a combination of paracetamol, codine, doxlamine, and caffeine. This painkiller helped reduce the muscles spasms in my thigh. The only problem I encountered with them is that they knock me out, so I only ever took 2 tablets at night. You might find them useful to both aid sleep, and reduce the pain in your trochanter muscle. I have included a link below that gives advice on each ingredient in the tablet.

Inflamed Great Trochanter Muscle?

I have had an inflamed Great Trochanter Muscle which runs down the side of the hip and into the thigh for nearly 6 years now and some days I just want to die. I had corticosteroid injections in it about 2 months ago and they were helpful to a degree but played havoc with my blood sugar levels and...

greater trochanter,

a large projection of the femur, to which are attached various muscles, including the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and obturator internus. The greater trochanter projects from the angle formed by the neck and body of the femur

So I am just wondering if you have had an MRI and also if your under an Orthopaedic surgeon if the answer to either of the above is NO then after 6 years of pain I personally would insist on some form of treatment other than pain killers.

However I know what daily constant pain is like and how it just ruins your quality of life, Now obviously there are many different pain relievers on the market and for me after 3 spinal surgeries I am on Buprenorpine Patches which is an opiate and wonderful for pain relief but by no means a miracle cure.

I guess you've tried heat patches that you stick on to the outside of your under wear Either vest or Under pants?

Anyway I think it's high time you stood up to your doctor and told him "I'VE HAD ENOUGH"

Good Luck

Standard therapy for sciatica often requires a combination of pain-killing medicines and rest.This could sometimes be good at lowering pain in the short-term. The issue is that it only sweets the apparent symptoms of sciatica, indicating the pain usually earnings at a later date and if you're putting up with for sciatica you already know this so this is the reason is enough time to change that with the help of Sciatica SOS from here https://tr.im/NAM2l .

I do think you should consider talking to more doctors, and have them find why it's inflamed, and why it isn't healing- there has to be an underlying cause, and I'm fairly sure they can get to the greater trochanter muscle surgically, and honestly if it hasn't healed by now, It's possible that there is a tear that will need to be repaired.

Barry Bonds told me the cream and the clear worked wonders for him Arod said HGH and a low grade Beaver tranquilizer worked well for him I got a novel idea workout like a made man and diet a bit if you have the fat, there are no healthy ways to get very strong fast!
