Hip ultrasound today...

[aysha01]

Hi

I had my hip ultrasound today because I seem to have swelling in the upper thigh area. The radiographer pretty well much told me the results (which is a rare thing) that there was no sign of swelling (fluid or muscular tear or anything). Which is great - so no bursitis. I am now wondering could it just be weight gain?? it does look like swelling though??

But it could also be enthesithis....strectching and swelling of the ligaments.

Yep, enthesitis is very common with PA. I also get pain that feels like hip bursitis.

thanks for your responses..would an ultrasound pick this up??

I honestly don't know! I do know that mine would come and go, so it wasn't like a tear or injury that starts at a particular point in time and gradually heals.
