What Does Hip Pain Feel Like?
Hip pain can be difficult to identify because of its proximity to the lower back. People often mistake hip pain for back pain, but the location of the pain can help to identify when pain is originating from the hip. Most often, hip pain presents in one of two ways:
- Pain in the groin or the front of the hip: If you feel pain in this area, it could be indicative of either arthritis, hip femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), or muscular strain. Age is often an indicator of which ailment is causing the pain, but additional tests will be performed to identify and validate the diagnosis.
- Pain the side of the hip: Muscle and structural problems of the hip often present as pain in the side of the hip. One of the most common conditions causing this is hip bursitis. Hip bursitis is when there is irritation of the bursa, which is a fluid-filled sac that functions to improve gliding between the muscles and bones and prevent irritation. When there is a repetitive strain or muscle imbalances, the large bursa on the side of the hip can become irritated and lead to pain in this area.
