Understanding Hip Joint Pain & Function
The hip is the largest ball-and-socket joint in the body. The pelvic bone forms the socket that holds the rounded head of the femur, creating the ball-and-socket structure of the hip. When working in harmony, this structure supports the body’s weight, connects the upper and lower body, supports the body’s weight, and assists with balance and posture.
Signs and Symptoms of Hip Joint Pain
Hip joint pain may appear gradually over time through every day wear and tear, by injury, or suddenly with no injury and can range from dull discomfort to sharp pain. In many cases, some symptoms are more noticeable with movement, while others may occur when the body is at rest.
Patients often report symptoms such as:
- Sharp or recurring pain when walking, moving, or laying down
- Pain that radiates through the groin, outer hip, thigh, or buttocks.
- Swelling, tenderness, or stiffness
- Pain that flares up with activity or returns over time
- A sensation that the hip gives out or feels unstable
If you’re beginning to notice changes in your hip’s range of motion, are experiencing chronic pain, or have undergone a previous surgery without improvement, the team at AOSMLV is here to help.
