What are the signs and symptoms associated with hip pain?

 Imagine you are losing the hip movement with severe ache while doing a job. In this condition, you not only experience hip pain, but you will undergo many other associated symptoms.




Before going through the associated symptoms in addition to your hip pain, let us see why they are interconnected.


Hip Anatomy

The hip joint anatomically appears like is a ball and socket joint, where the ball like the femur (the head of the thigh bone) fits into the socket like acetabulum. This ball and socket structure gives stability to the hip to allow its pain-free movement and prevent injuries.

The hip labrum is a cartilaginous ring that covers the socket and helps in giving pain-free movement between the leg and the pelvic region. The primary function of the hip labrum is to serve as a shock absorber by protecting the hip bones as a cushion between the ball and the socket and maintain alignment between the ball and socket. Moreover, the hip labrum helps to keep the synovial fluid in the hip joint capsule to maintain a proper movement of the femur head (i.e. the ball) over the acetabulum cavity (i.e. the socket).

A hip tendon is a thick cord made up of small fibres that helps in connecting the muscles to the hip bone. While moving the leg, tendons keep the strong muscles connected to the femur (thigh bone).

Since your hip parts are interconnected with each other, you will experience many other symptoms if you have hip pain.


Signs and symptoms

Below is the list of symptoms associated with hip pain, which depend on the cause:

  • Tenderness

  • Swelling

  • Joint pain

  • Groin pain

  • Warmth

  • Limping

  • Loss of hip motion

  • Difficulty sleeping on the hip

The symptoms may vary in intensity from mild to severe. Hip pain can later become a cause of disability.
