Hip pain is in adults and can be caused by various factors, ranging from injuries to chronic conditions. Some of the most common causes of hip pain include:
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation and degeneration of the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid‒filled sac that cushions the hip joint, can cause sharp, localized pain, particularly when moving or applying pressure to the hip.
Tendinitis: Overuse or strain can lead to inflammation of the tendons surrounding the hip joint, resulting in pain and limited range of motion.
Hip Labral Tear: The labrum, a ring of cartilage that lines the hip socket, can become torn due to injury or wear and tear, causing pain and instability in the joint.
Muscle Strains: Overstretching or tearing of the muscles around the hip can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area.
Hip Fractures: Fractures of the hip bone can result from falls, accidents, or weakened bone due to osteoporosis, causing severe pain and difficulty walking.
