Hip Pain
Dennis Minotti, DO
The bursae are the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint. When the bursae become inflamed, you will have pain on the outside of your leg from the hip to the knee. It will become painful after walking or sitting and will hurt to lie on. This can be caused by muscle weakness in the lower limbs, a difference in leg length, disc degeneration in the back, or misalignment in the pelvis.
