“Trochanteric bursitis develops insidiously after repetitive use, and the patient may report morning stiffness and pain when lying on the affected side.
Palpation of the greater trochanter elicits tenderness, and occasionally swelling may be noted as well.
Early injection with a corticosteroid usually produces a satisfactory response.” ABFM
