What causes hip pain?

Dr Sarah Jarvis MBE

Hip problems are common and can be an occupational hazard of getting older, although may affect younger people too. They are usually due to a problem with the hip joint. Joints are junctions between two bones.

In the UK alone, 8.5 million people live with joint pain, and hips are prime candidates. Pain in your hip can also come from your lower spine or from any of the structures near your hip joint. Your doctor will check this out.
