Hip Pain & Injuries
Your hip may ache or feel stiff due to:
- Hip bone spurs – Painful lumps that form when the hip bones rub together because cartilage has worn away
- Hip (trochanteric) bursitis – Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid sac that provides a cushion between bones and soft tissue
- Hip impingement – Pain that happens when the ball of your joint presses against the socket, or cup
- Hip labrum tear – Injury to the tissue that covers the cup of your hip
- Hip osteoarthritis – Breakdown of the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joint
- Hip tendonitis – Tendon inflammation that causes pain
