Hip pain is a common complaint that can be felt in and around the hip joint and can extend to the thigh or groin. This discomfort can range from mild to severe and can limit a person's mobility and overall quality of life.

Causes of Hip Pain:

• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common cause, leading to inflammation, pain, and reduced mobility in the hip as cartilage wears down.

• Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, which are fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint, causing pain and tenderness.

• Tendinitis: Irritation or inflammation of the tendons around the hip and the repetitive strain can lead to sharp pain.

• Referred Pain: Sometimes pain from other parts of the body, such as the back or knees, is felt in the hip.

Impact on Life: Hip pain can severely restrict mobility, making it difficult to walk, stand, or even sit comfortably for long periods. This limitation can interfere with daily activities, reducing an individual’s ability to work, engage in leisure activities, or complete simple tasks like tying shoes or getting in and out of a car. Chronic hip pain can also lead to sleep disturbances and chronic fatigue, affecting mental health and overall well-being. The discomfort and reduced mobility can also increase the risk of falls and injuries, especially in older adults, impacting personal independence and quality of life. These conditions can be treated by intra-articular hip injections, greater trochanteric bursa injections, femoral nerve blocks.
