Clinical Information

• A patient is considered to have hip pain when they feel discomfort or pain in or around the hip joint or possibly the groin or thigh. 
• Common causes of hip pain include injuries and conditions like muscle injury, bursitis, tendonitis/inflamed tendons, labral tears, hip impingement, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and hip fractures.
• Aside from pain, if there’s redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, exposed bone/muscle, bleeding, or a popping noise heard when you move, it’s best that you head directly to the hospital or a medical practitioner. 
• To diagnose hip pain, practitioners will ask the patient questions about their symptoms, observe the joint while moving, and have them undergo a blood test, urine test, joint fluid test, and imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRI scans. 
• Treatments vary depending on the cause. On the one hand, some can be healed with rest and medication, while others may need surgery and physical therapy.

Synonyms Include:

• Bilateral hip joint pain
• Hip pain
• Femoral acetabular impingement of bilateral hip joints
• Bilateral bursitis of hips
• Disorder of hip
