Trochanteric Bursitis, I've got it.

It turns out that I am suffering from Trochanteric Bursitis, the prognosis is good and I'm not super stressed, but am a little dissapointed. I fell a few weeks ago on my right side (hard) and the Dr. advised me to take it down a notch, and I did! However, I have apparently been babying my right side, and put quite a bit of strain on my left side which is where I am suffering.

I am doing the recommended stretches, and will be taking up swimming and walk too. Walking is painful at this point so I am trying to take that slow too. The Dr. said I could try running flat 3-milers soon and use pain as my guide on whether or not I'm ready to keep it up, but swimming is recommended and no more aerobics (lol, I hate aerobics anyway) My question to those out there is...


If you've suffered with this, how long was your recovery, what did you do that helped the most?
