What Are the First Signs of Hip Problems?

Can a bad hip affect your daily activities? Hip problems can cause pain and are a common concern for many people, especially as we age and maintain an active lifestyle.

The specific location of the hip pain can help identify the underlying cause. This may include problems with the tendons, muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues around the hip, or problems in the lower back or spine. Hip pain can be felt on the outside of the hip, groin or upper thigh.

Hip problems are usually age-related. However, without proper care, anyone can experience joint wear and tear - including the hip.

The following signs are common early symptoms of hip problems.

1. Hip pain or groin pain

This pain is usually located between the hip and the knee. Hip pain can be felt during exercise, sleep or walking. It can lead to decreased mobility of the hip joint.

Discomfort and soreness during or after exercise are usually the earliest signs of hip arthritis. Hip pain can cause sleep problems because the discomfort can interfere with your natural movements at night. In addition, if hip pain prevents you from walking short distances or normally, see a specialist immediately for medical evaluation and treatment.

2. Stiffness

A common symptom of hip stiffness is difficulty putting on shoes or socks. You may also find it difficult to bend over or pick things up off the floor.

3. Limping

A serious symptom of a hip problem is when you start to limp when you walk. Limping can be acute or chronic and can be treated by an orthopedic surgeon with proper medical care.

4. Swelling and pressure in the hip

Another sign of hip problems is swelling and tenderness. Swelling may occur internally or externally at the skin and muscles. If it becomes unbearable or does not go away within a few days, contact your doctor immediately.

Hip replacement is a procedure performed on people with severe hip injuries. The most common cause of injury is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis causes pain, swelling and decreased movement in the joint. It can interfere with your daily activities. Hip replacement surgery may be an option for you if other treatments such as physical therapy, painkillers and exercise have not worked.

During hip replacement surgery, your surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from your hip joint and replaces them with new artificial hip prostheses.

The most common problem after surgery is hip dislocation. Because the artificial hip joint is smaller than the original joint, the ball can come out of its socket. The surgery can also lead to blood clots and infections. With a hip replacement, you may need to avoid certain activities, such as jogging and high-intensity exercise.
