Is Pain In The Hip Joints A Symptom Of Bursitis?

I have pain in my hip joints if I hold a position for longer than a few moments. Even when I was a child, I had the same pain in my right hip from time to time, but it was short lived. Now it s in both hips and very intense. Is this a symptom of bursitis?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dear possible causes are like arthritis or bursitis or trochanteric bursitis or rheumatoid arthritis etc.
Pain also seen in hypothyroidism, diabetes, dyslipidemia, sickle cell disease etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Take rest, use pain killer medication.

Please consult your orthopedician and get MRI hip joint then get treated accordingly.
