    The trochanteric bursa is on the outer aspect of the hip joint between the tendons.

    Symptoms

    A common type of chronic hip pain.

    Trochanteric bursitis may affect the hip’s outer area or the outside part of the upper leg, from the hip to the knee along the thigh.

    Treatment

    • Physical therapy
