Hip pain is a broad term for pain in and around a person’s hip joint. People may feel pain in the knee, groin, or thigh rather than in the hip. The hip joint is able to endure constant movement in addition to minor strain and wear.

Hip pain may be caused by various reasons, as follows

• Hip joint inflammation
• Nerve injury or compression
• Referred pain
• Cancer

The symptoms of hip pain might differ depending on the underlying reason and could consist of any of the following

• Pain in the knee, groin, buttocks, or hip.
• Pain that worsens when a person moves.
• Tight joints that typically worsen in the morning and after rest.
• A grinding sound made when moving the hip.
• Reduced hip range of motion may result in a limp and limit mobility.
• A joint ache that gets worse by rain or cold weather.
• Swollen, warm, and tender joints.
• Rarely, weakness, fever, and appetite loss.

Complications of hip pain may include

• Impaired capacity to walk.
• Disparities in limb length.
• Persistent discomfort.
• Permanent Hip abnormalities.
• Pain-related anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness.
