My wife has been diagnosed as having bursitus in her hips and it's a real pain in the rear (pun intended). What is bursitus? It's an inflammation of the bursa. Bursa are basically just sacks of fluid around your joints, and I think their purpose is to reduce the friction of the joints moving. When the bursa are inflamed, then you feel pain.
