Hip Pain

The hip joint attaches the leg to the torso of the body. In the hip joint, the head of the femur pivots in a socket in the pelvic bones. Whenever you run, the body uses a cushion of cartilage to help prevent friction as the hip bone moves in its socket.


Despite its durability, the hip joint isn’t indestructible. With age and use, the cartilage can wear down or become damaged. Muscles and tendons in the hip can get overused. The hip bone itself can be fractured during a fall or other injury. Any of these conditions can lead to hip pain. If your hips are sore, here is the list of what might be causing your discomfort and how to get hip pain relief. The hip joint is designed to be able to repeat motion and some amount of wear and tear. This ball-and-socket joint — the body’s largest — fits together in a way that allows for fluid movement.

Arthritis: Arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are among the most common causes of hip pain, especially in older adults.  Arthritis leads to inflammation of the hip joint and the breakdown of the cartilage that normally cushions your hip bones. The pain gradually gets worse as the arthritis progresses. People with arthritis also feel stiffness and have reduced range of motion in the hip, due to the joint being dry and its bone to bone friction. By ranging of motion it increases the synovial fluids to lubricate the joint.

Hip fractures: Fractures of the hip are a particular problem in elderly people. With age, the bones can become weak and brittle. Due to deficiency of nutrition and not enough exercise to build up muscles, weakened bones are more likely to fracture during a fall.

Bursitis: Inflammation of the small, fluid-filled sacs (called bursae) that protect muscles and tendons is usually due to repetitive activities that overuse or irritate the hip joint.

Tendinitis: Tendons are the thick bands of tissue that attaches to bones and to the muscles. Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of the tendons. It’s usually caused by repetitive stress from overuse.
