What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can result from a variety of conditions, ranging from muscle strain to joint degeneration. Some of the most common causes include:
- Osteoarthritis: This degenerative joint disease is one of the leading causes of hip pain, resulting in the breakdown of cartilage in the hip joint.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip joint can cause sharp pain, particularly when moving or lying on the affected side.
- Hip Labral Tear: A tear in the ring of cartilage (labrum) around the hip socket can cause pain, instability, and limited range of motion.
- Tendinitis: Overuse of the tendons that support the hip can lead to inflammation and pain, especially with repetitive activities.
- Hip Fractures: Common in older adults, fractures can cause severe pain and require immediate medical attention.
- Sciatica: Nerve pain radiating from the lower back to the hip can also lead to hip discomfort.
Symptoms of Hip Pain
Depending on the underlying cause, hip pain can present in different ways, including:
- Aching or sharp pain in the hip joint.
- Pain radiating to the groin, thigh, or buttocks.
- Stiffness or limited range of motion.
- Clicking or popping sounds with movement.
- Pain that worsens with activity, sitting, or sleeping on the affected side.
