Can An Injury Or Arthritis Cause Pain Around The Hips?
I have pain in my outer lower hip on when I walk. Painful enough to make me limp. It Just started yesterday and I had no pain the day before even though I walked over 12,000 steps and had an hour of semi private workouts/tracing the day before that. Could it be an injury or arthritis? How can you tell the difference between the two?

Hi,
Pain associated with arthritis will not arise all of a sudden, it’s a gradual pain that develops slowly. In your case, the pain might be due to heavy physical exertion.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like Tramadol or diclofenac for pain relief: If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
