What Is Hip Pain?
Hip pain refers to discomfort or pain in or around the hip joint that can affect walking, sitting, or daily activities. It may develop gradually due to wear and tear or suddenly due to injury. Hip pain can occur at any age and may worsen if not treated early.
All About Hip Pain
Hip pain can be caused by arthritis, fractures, muscle strain, ligament injury, nerve problems, or joint inflammation. Ageing, obesity, sports injuries, and previous trauma can increase the risk of hip problems.
Common symptoms include pain in the groin, thigh, or buttock area, stiffness in the hip joint, difficulty walking or standing, reduced range of motion, and pain that worsens with movement or prolonged sitting.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity. It may include rest, medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle modification, injections, or surgical options such as hip replacement in advanced cases.
