Hip Pain Q & A

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can happen due to a number of problems, including diseases and conditions in other parts of your body. Certain problems that can lead to hip pain include:

  • Hip fractures
  • Sprains
  • Pinched nerves
  • Arthritis
  • Cancerous growths

Hip pain typically happens on the inside of your hip or in the groin area. Hip pain on the outside of your hip, outer buttock area, or upper thigh, is typically the result of issues with ligaments, muscles, tendons, or other soft tissues that are around your hip joint.

What relieves hip pain?

Minor hip pain can go away on its own. At home, there are a few things you can try to help relieve your hip pain, such as:

  • Applying ice or heat
  • Taking over-the-counter pain relievers
