What is Hip Pain?
The hip joint can withstand repeated motion and a fair amount of wear and tear. This ball and socket joint, the body's largest joint, fits together in a way that allows for fluid movement.
Despite its durability, the hip joint isn't indestructible. With age and use, the cartilage can wear down or become damaged. Muscles and tendons in the hip can get overused. Bones in the hip can break during a fall or other injury. Any of these conditions can lead to hip pain.
What are the causes of Hip Pain?
- Arthritis
- Hip Fractures
- Bursitis
- Pelvic Joint pain
- Tendinitis
- Muscle/tendon strain
- Hip Labral tear
- Cancer
- Avascular Necrosis
What are the symptoms of Hip Pain?
Depending on the condition that's causing your hip pain, you might feel the discomfort in your:
- Thigh
- Inside of the hip joint
- Groin
- Outside of the hip joint
- Buttocks
Sometimes pain from other areas of the body, such as the back or groin (from a hernia), can radiate to the hip.
You might notice that your pain gets worse with activity, especially if it's caused by arthritis. Along with the pain, you might have reduced range of motion. Some people develop a limp from persistent hip pain.

What happens if you leave it untreated?
Generally, the longer you have had the injury, the longer it will take to recover. Most of the time, you may assume things will get better by themselves with enough rest. But this is rarely the case, especially if your pain or other symptoms are stopping you from doing what you normally able to do. So, take action and get back doing what you love as soon as possible.
