Hi there,

Pain over the outside of your hip or in the gluteal area was traditionally blamed on trochanteric bursitis – a condition where the bursa (a fluid filled sac) between the hip bone and gluteal tendons become inflamed and painful.

But thanks to advances in imaging technology and research we now know that lateral hip pain is actually often caused by a combination of gluteal tendinopathy and bursitis, and researchers have therefore proposed that a better name for pain in this area may be Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome.
