What Causes Hip Pain?

Pain in and around the hip joint can have a number of different causes. The cause often contributes to the severity and exact type of pain. Because of the pivotal role of our hips in movement, the joint is one of the strongest as well as the largest in the body. Our hips obviously help us to walk, but they're also involved in movements like sitting and standing.

Despite the hip's ability to withstand repeated motion, it does not mean that it is resistant to injury. It can even become injured from overuse, just like any other joint. Age will also take its toll on the hips. The cartilage is worn down from repetitive movements over prolonged amounts of time, and the muscles and tendons can be injured too. The hip bone may also be broken in car or other types of accidents and falls.

Sometimes your hip pain may not even be the result of an injury to your actual hip. Some back injuries, as well as groin injuries like hernias, tend to result in pain that manifests largely in your hips. Arthritis is another typical cause of hip pain, just as it causes pain in your other joints. A person's hip pain may increase with activity, especially if arthritis is the cause. Other people report increased pain at night. The pain may also only occur when in certain positions like sitting or laying in a specific way.
