What Are the Causes of Hip Pain?

Common causes of hip pain may include injury, arthritis, and other problems. Some of the most frequent causes of this discomfort are listed below.

  1. Arthritis: Hip arthritis is a common cause of long-term pain in the hip. The hip may develop several types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. Along with pain, arthritis can also cause a level of swelling.
  2. Injury: Hip injury may occur through trauma or overuse. Injury can affect any part of the hip joint, including the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Injuries to the hip may include the following:
    • Dislocated hip
    • Hip fractures
    • Labral tears
    • Hip strains
    • Snapping hip syndrome
  3. Hip bursitis: There is a fluid-filled sac inside the hip socket called a bursa. When the bursa gets injured or irritated, bursitis can develop and cause pain in the hip.
  4. Back problems: Hip pain can often be caused by problems in the back. This is called referred pain. The nerves for your hip travel through your spine. If these nerves become pinched or compressed elsewhere in the back, they can result in pain in the hip.
  5. Knee pain: This pain will often affect your hip or vice versa and can be another type of referred pain.
  6. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH): This condition can affect babies. It can run in the family and occur when the baby has a breech delivery. If untreated, it can cause pain in the hip later in life.
  7. Perthes disease: This rare condition can affect children between the ages of 6 and 10. It affects the blood supply to the thigh bone, causing the bone to break down and change shape. This can affect how the bone fits in the hip socket and cause hip joint pain.

  • You had a fall or injured your hip
  • You have severe pain and/or it is getting worse
  • Daily activities are too difficult, such as walking, climbing stairs, or leaning forward when sitting
