Injuries, ailments and treatment thread - MODS PLEASE DELETE

[jernau_gergeh]

Many of us experience all sorts of issues as part of life as well as training, so I thought it might be useful to have a thread as a resource for asking questions, sharing experiences of what works well as well as how to navigate towards the best forms of diagnosis and treatment, which isn't always straightforward.

Let me kick things off by asking if anyone else has suffered bursitis (inflamed/ infected bursa), particularly in the hips? How have you coped and what kind of treatment have you received?

I've been suffering with what I at first thought was chronic back pain caused by indolence and sedentary lifestyle. So I took up yoga and now lifting weights to strengthen my core etc. having had mixed results I saw a sports physio who thought it was strained hip ligaments and build up of knotty tissue which she has broken down with deep tissue massage. However it just comes and goes in terms of severity. But of a coincidence but my line of work brings me into contact with all kinds of healthcare professionals, one of whom noticed my unease and difficulty getting up after a meeting. They asked me to do a 5 minute history and based on that and my symptoms suggested bursitis so I'm now headed back to my own gp to try to get a referral for scan etc.

I'm interested if anyone else has gone through similar?

You cant discuss your medical issues here, for obvious reasons.
