What is Hip Pain?

The hip is one of the body’s largest joints, connecting the legs to the pelvis and supporting many everyday movements. Hip pain refers to discomfort felt in or around the hip joint, though pain may also spread into the groin, thigh, leg, buttocks, or even toward the knee. At Greater Austin Pain Center, our San Marcos pain specialists are board-certified physicians with advanced training in pain management who work to identify the source of your hip pain and recommend pain management solutions aimed at reducing discomfort and improving mobility.

How does Hip Pain affect the body?

The hip joint is built for both strength and flexibility. It helps support body weight while allowing movements such as bending, straightening, rotating, and moving the leg side to side. When the hip becomes painful, simple activities like walking, standing, climbing stairs, exercising, or sleeping comfortably can become difficult, and pain may spread into the groin, thigh, leg, buttocks, or knee; pain in the buttock or back of the hip may also be referred from the lower back or sacroiliac joint, as with sacroiliac joint pain.

Hip pain may also affect the way you move. If you begin limping or shifting your weight to avoid discomfort, added strain can develop in the lower back, knees, legs, or opposite hip.

Hip pain can affect patients of all ages, but certain factors may increase your risk. Aging can make hip pain more likely due to arthritis, joint changes, and a higher risk of fractures.
