hip pain misdiagnosed as bursitis

March 25, 2026Howard Luks MD

Howard Luks MD says lateral hip pain is often mislabeled as bursitis and treated with injections, but clinicians were treating the wrong condition for decades.

Pain on the outside of your hip is one of the most common problems I see in my practice.
For decades, we called it bursitis and injected it.
We were treating the wrong thing.
