Hip pain is discomfort in or around the hip joint, where the top of the thigh bone meets the pelvis. Because the hip carries much of the body’s weight and helps us walk, sit, and bend, pain here can affect many daily activities. The discomfort may be felt in the groin, the outside of the hip, the buttock, or even down the thigh. It can be mild and occasional or steady and limiting.
Signs include aching, stiffness, reduced movement, limping, or pain that worsens with walking or standing. Some people feel it most at night or when getting up after sitting.
