Possible causes of hip pain

Hip pain is pain or discomfort you feel in or around your hip joint.

Hip pain is a common symptom that can be caused by a lot of factors such as sports injuries and arthritis.

Online medical site Cleveland says you can usually treat hip pain at home by taking a break from physical activities and taking over-the-counter pain relievers.

It warns that hip pain can range from a temporary, short-term annoyance to a bigger issue that needs treatment from a healthcare provider.

According to Cleveland, if the pain persists or gets worse, other treatments may be necessary.
