HIP & THIGH
Hip and thigh problems can be long-standing problems or they could be recent and due to injury or overuse.
Often acute injury to your hip and thigh can be caused during sports, particularly sports involving kicking and twisting and turning such as football.
Your hip can be subject to wear and tear over the years leading to osteoarthritis and may require a hip replacement. You can also fracture your hip and it is a common result of a fall, particularly in an older population or those with weak bones.
There are various structures within your hip and thigh that can cause your pain including joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles. If any of these structures become damaged or inflamed then they could cause you to feel symptoms.
