What is Hip pain

Hip pain is the general term for pain in or around the hip joint. It isn’t always felt in the hip itself but may instead be felt in the groin or thigh.

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

Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain may be caused by problems in the bones or cartilage of your hip, including:

• Hip fractures -- can cause sudden and acute hip pain. These injuries can be serious and lead to major problems. More common as people get older because falls are more likely and your bones become weaker.
• Infection in the bones or joints.
• Osteonecrosis of the hip (necrosis from loss of blood supply to the bone).
• Arthritis -- often felt in the front part of the thigh or groin.
• Labral tear of the hip.
• Femoral acetabular impingement -- abnormal growth around your hip that is a precursor to hip arthritis. It can cause pain with movement and exercises.

Pain in or around the hip may also be caused by problems such as:

• Bursitis -- pain when getting up from a chair, walking, climbing stairs, and driving
• Hamstring strain
• Iliotibial band syndrome
• Hip flexor strain
• Hip impingement syndrome
• Groin strain
• Snapping hip syndrome

You may benefit from Physical Therapy to help control your symptoms and improve your overall functional mobility. Your physical therapy program should focus on decreasing or eliminating your pain, improving your hip range of motion and strength, and restoring normal functional mobility.
