Trochanter bursitis, also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome, is an inflammation of the bursa located near the greater trochanter of the femur, which is the bony prominence on the outer thigh. This condition often causes pain on the outer side of the hip and can result from overuse, injury, or underlying conditions like Arthritis. Symptoms may include pain during activities like walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and, in some cases, corticosteroid injections.
