While some forms of hip pain are short-term problems, it can sometimes be a symptom of a larger health issue that needs to be treated. The location of the pain can indicate the area that’s damaged. You might experience pain in the following regions:
- Near the Surface Around Your Hip. Pain in this area typically indicates problems related to the soft tissues, which are muscles, ligaments and tendons.
- Deep In the Joint. Pain coming from deep in your hip is likely to be due to issues with cartilage or bones.
- In the Lower Back. Occasionally, hip pain radiates to surrounding areas, such as the lower back or groin.
Occasionally, hip pain is limited to specific situations. For instance, you might feel relief when resting, but the pain returns when walking. You might notice more pain in the morning upon waking. Some patients have worsened pain at night, usually due to laying on the affected side while sleeping.
