Hip Pain: Piriformis Syndrome and Greater Trochanteric Bursitis

Suffering from hip pain? The culprits may be Piriformis Syndrome or Greater Trochanteric Bursitis.

Piriformis Syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, located deep within the gluteal region, becomes tight or inflamed. This can lead to compression of the sciatic nerve, resulting in radiating pain from the buttocks down the leg. Activities such as sitting for prolonged periods, repetitive movements, or muscle imbalances can contribute to the development of this syndrome.

On the other hand, Greater Trochanteric Bursitis involves inflammation of the bursa, a fluidfilled sac that cushions the greater trochanter (a bony prominence on the outside of the hip). This condition can cause localized pain and tenderness, especially during activities like walking, running, or climbing stairs.
