Hip joint pain can make simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting for prolonged periods of time challenging and uncomfortable. It’s crucial to identify the potential causes of your pain and seek appropriate treatment to regain mobility and alleviate your discomfort.

There are several common causes of hip joint pain:

• Osteoarthritis: This degenerative condition occurs when the protective cartilage in the hip joint wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
• Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint, can result in pain and tenderness in the outer hip area.
• Hip Fracture: A broken hip, often caused by a fall or other trauma, can cause severe pain and immediate difficulty in bearing weight on the affected leg.
• Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons surrounding the hip joint can lead to hip pain, especially during movement or physical activity.
• Muscle Strains: Overuse or sudden movements can cause strains in the muscles around the hip joint, resulting in pain and limited mobility.
