SYMPTOMS OF HIP AND GROIN PAIN:
CAUSES:
Hip and groin pain can manifest in various ways, including:
- Hip Pain: Dull ache or sharp, stabbing sensations in the hip joint.
- Groin Pain: Discomfort in the groin area, often worsened by movement.
- Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty with activities such as walking, bending, or standing for prolonged periods.
- Radiating Pain: Pain that travels from the hip or groin down the leg, mimicking sciatica.
Common causes of hip and groin pain include:
- Muscle Strain: Overuse or sudden movements can lead to strains in the muscles and tendons around the hip and groin.
- Hip Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the hip joint, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Hip Impingement: Abnormal contact between the bones of the hip joint, causing pain and restricted movement.
- Labral Tear: Injury to the cartilage (labrum) surrounding the hip socket, often resulting in pain and clicking sensations.
- Sports Injuries: Trauma or repetitive stress injuries from sports activities.
