1-What is Hip Pain?

Possible causes

2-Possible causes

Some injuries and/or conditions can commonly cause hip pain. Osteoarthritis and arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, are to blame for hip pain in older people. Both can cause the cartilage of the hip joint to wear out more quickly and cause inflammation in the area. In combination with the pain and discomfort, there is also a reduced range of motion of the hip and stiffness.

The bursitis can also create pain in the hip. The bags are synovial bags, secreting a liquid: synovial fluid, that lubricates the articular surfaces, so they run with less friction, reducing joint wear and inflammation. Nevertheless, if the mechanical position is not correctly aligned, due, for example, to a pelvic tilt, friction increases, joint pressure and consequently it becomes inflamed. So, the chain of pain is on.

Other causes
Commonly, similar to bursitis, tendonitis can also lead to inflammation and generally is caused by episodes of strong or repetitive stress, caused by excessive movement or poor joint position, which in turn could be due to misalignment or subluxation.
The pain at the level of the muscle or tendon may be the result of overuse or in poor condition. Repeated physical activity can also add unnecessary amounts of pressure on ligaments, tendons and hip joints, especially in those who support the buttocks. If any of them are inflamed, the hip will not be able to function normally and as a result there will be painful symptoms.
Hip fractures are very common and painful, and occur more frequently in adults, older people and those with osteoporosis, which is the weakening of the bones associated with age, among other factors.
