Hi

me again...

I have got some extra info on the patient that I am seeing with this bursitis. He has had it for 1 year now.

Most importantly is that the pain presents mainly at night(wakes up due to the pain), but says once he's got up and walked a bit he will be pain free for a few hours again. The pain is described as a dull feeling and can be pin-pointed to the greater trochanter.
The pain is also felt going down the side of the leg(ITB) and then down the outside of the lower leg, but does not go into the foot. This is described as n numbing sensation and does not seem to be originating from the back.
He cycles everyday(spinning) and plans to climb Kilimanjaro in Dec. During activities he doesnt have pain, only at night which tells me theres def a inflammatory aspect to it.

Please help!
