Hip pain is a common issue affecting people of all ages, and it can range from a mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. It can originate from the hip joint itself or from the surrounding muscles, ligaments, or tendons. Causes vary, and early diagnosis and treatment can prevent worsening of the condition and improve quality of life. Symptoms can include pain in the hip joint, groin, or buttock, stiffness or reduced range of motion, clicking, popping, or locking sensation in the hip, pain that worsens with activity or prolonged sitting and limping, or difficulty walking.
