What are Hip Joint Problems?

Hip joint problems are a group of conditions affecting the joint that connects the leg to the pelvis. These include cartilage wear and tear, joint inflammation, osteoarthritis, dislocations, or sports-related injuries. Such problems can cause severe pain in the thigh or lower back, limited mobility, stiffness when standing or walking, and in advanced cases, loss of ability to perform daily activities normally.

What are the causes of hip joint problems?

Causes include aging and natural joint wear, sports injuries or accidents, chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases affecting the joints, and genetic factors that increase susceptibility to joint damage. Excess weight can also increase pressure on the joint, accelerating its deterioration.

What are the common symptoms?

Main symptoms include: pain in the hip or thigh area, stiffness or difficulty moving the leg, sensation of friction or popping inside the joint, weakness of the muscles surrounding the hip, and difficulty walking or climbing stairs. These symptoms may worsen with daily activity or prolonged standing.
