0 Berta Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 What is the prime medical condition that this is related to? The few BVA cases I searched only refer to this syndrome , in regards to bilateral hip problems, as the main cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted June 9, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 9, 2016 I found this about it What is the treatment of greater trochanteric pain syndrome? Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is usually self-limiting. That is, it usually goes away on its own in time. However, it commonly takes several weeks for the pain to ease. Symptoms can persist for months, and sometimes longer in a small proportion of cases. However, persistence does not mean that there is a serious underlying condition or that the hip joint is being damaged. Decreasing activity such as running or excessive walking for a while may help to speed recovery. In addition, the following may be useful: Applying an ice pack (wrapped in a towel) for 10-20 minutes several times a day may improve your symptoms. Taking paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen may help to reduce the pain. Losing weight. If you are overweight or obese then losing some weight is likely to improve your symptoms. Injection of steroid and local anaesthetic. If the above measures do not help then an injection into the painful area may be beneficial. Physiotherapy. If a steroid injection does not improve your symptoms then you may be referred to a physiotherapist. They will be able to give you advice on improving your flexibility and strengthening your muscles. If the condition is severe or persistent then you may be referred to a specialist for advice regarding further treatment.

0 Bizmark Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Thanks for your response; the primary condition is hip pain/stiffness. My claim of hip pain secondary to flat feet was denied. However, the c & p Doc did provide a diagnosis of Trochanteric Pain Syndrome but with no service connection. Based on my research a shorten lower limb (leg) is a contributing factor to Trochanteric pain. I was diagnosed/advised that my left leg is shorter than my right and have copy of it. So, my question is should I file a rebuttal or a new claim for Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Berta Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hip Pain and stiffness is a symptom , not a diagnosis of a disability. What is your SC rating for flat feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
