Hip Pain
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hip pain can appear while walking, standing, or even at rest, and usually reflects a problem in the joint, the muscles, or the structures surrounding it. Its intensity and location vary depending on the cause.
Common causes: Joint wear, strain injuries, muscle problems, or inflammation of tendons near the hip.
Accompanying signs:
- Discomfort in the groin, thigh, or side area
- Difficulty walking or limping
- Stiffness when getting up after sitting
Which specialist treats it? Evaluation of hip pain falls to the orthopedist, and in children to the pediatric orthopedist, with support from the pain specialist when it is persistent. If the pain limits your day-to-day life, it is worth getting it checked by a professional.
