What is hip pain?

The body’s largest ball-and-socket joint, the hip joins the leg to the trunk of the body via the rounded head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis. The hip’s cartilage cushion allows for fluid, painless motion, however years of use (or overuse), injury, or disease can cause this cartilage to wear down or become damaged. It’s not uncommon for older patients to experience chronic hip soreness, though it can be challenging to identify the root cause.

The most common causes of hip pain include arthritis, hip fractures, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, and labral tears. In some cases, depending on the underlying cause, hip pain can spread into the thigh, groin, or buttocks. Hip pain treatments will be tailored to the underlying cause or condition. While these can sometimes be addressed with rest, ibuprofen, and ice alone, more serious conditions may require surgery, and/or physical therapy.

What causes hip pain?

A number of common injuries can cause hip pain, including a hip dislocation, fracture, labral tear, or sprain. In most cases, rest and ice can help resolve minor injuries. However, physical therapy may be necessary to restore full range of motion to the hip.

Barring an injury, arthritis is the most likely cause of hip pain in older patients. Multiple types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis, can cause the degradation of cartilage in the hip along with chronic hip pain.

Conditions such as bursitis, sciatica, osteoporosis, and cancer can also cause hip pain. Patients should always seek medical attention first in order to identify the underlying cause of their hip pain.
