Causes of your hip pain?

Causes of Your Hip Pain

The most frequent cause of discomfort and chronic hip pain is arthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis, and trauma-related arthritis are the most common causes of joint damage.

How to Prepare

In the weeks leading up to surgery, your orthopaedic surgeon may:

  • Restrict and/or supplement your diet
  • Ask you to stop taking certain medications
  • Refer you to a physical therapist and recommend if pre-surgical exercises are right for you

Choosing the Right Doctor

Hip pain is not necessarily something you have to live with. You may be able to do something about it. If your hip pain is interfering with your daily activities, such as getting in and out of bed, taking a shower or tying your shoelaces, this may be a sign it is time to seek help.
