Identification

• Scoliosis is defined as one hip disproportionately higher than the other that causes pain when walking or standing for long periods of time. Sufferers also experience pain at the apex of the curve where the spine curves out the most. This pain results because of ligaments that stretch due to the extreme curvature of the spine, reports Caring Medical.com.
  
  

Features

• Ligament laxity, where the ligament is too loose, often results in pain and discomfort.
  
  

Effects

• According to the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, hip bursitis often develops with scoliosis. Inflammation of the jelly like sacs called the bursae, located throughout the body in the knee, hip, heels, shoulder and elbow, can result in bursitis. When the bursae become inflamed, they can't effectively serve as a cushion between soft tissues and bones nor can they reduce the friction between the bone and gliding muscles. This results in pain.
  
  

Potential

• Your bursitis hip pain may travel to the outside of your thigh.
  
  

The Sensation

• Hip bursitis pain initially feels intense and sharp and then becomes achy.
