Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can result from various conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis: Wear-and-tear damage to the joint’s cartilage, causing pain and stiffness.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disease that leads to joint inflammation and pain.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip joint.
  • Tendinitis: Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive stress or overuse.
  • Bone fractures or injuries: Damage from falls, accidents, or weakened bones.
  • Torn ligament or meniscus: Tears in the connective tissues that support joint movement.
  • Pinched nerves: Compression of nerves in or around the hip, causing pain and numbness.
  • Excess body weight: Added pressure on hip joints, increasing wear and tear.
  • Overuse or repetitive motions: Continuous strain leading to joint irritation.
  • Weak muscles around joints: Insufficient support, causing instability and discomfort.
  • Referred pain: Pain originating from another area, such as the lower back or pelvis.
