Some of the commonly occurring causes of hip pain are;

• Arthritis – Osteoarthritis is among the

common causes of chronic hip pain that worsen the condition as you age.


• Hip Fracture – Hip fracture is a

common condition among elderly individuals, especially those suffering from osteoporosis (low bone density).


• Bursitis - Trochanteric bursitis, is

another common cause of hip pain that occurs when a liquid-filled sac near the hip joint becomes inflamed


• Hernia – An inguinal hernia appears

when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak part in the abdominal muscles.


• Meralgia paresthetica – It is a condition

marked by tingling, numbness and burning pain in your outer thigh. It is caused due to the firmness of the nerve that supplies sensation to the skin surface.


• Bone cancer - It is a rare condition that

begins in a bone. Bone cancer can start in any bone in the body, but it commonly affects the long bones that make up the arms and legs.
