What Causes Hip Pain At An Early Age?

HI, I am a 27 year old female that exercises regularly. The past few months i ve been having pain in my hip, both sides, usually the right side though! This happens all of a sudden, usully happening when i m in bed but happens anytime throughout the day also. A couple family members get hip pain also and my 33 year old brother got a hip replacement a few months back. Have you any idea what it could be and how I could solve the problem?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hip pain at an early age. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like juvenile rheumatoid arthritis , bursitis , inguinal hernia ,sprains and strains , tendinitis , herniated disk or sciatica. I would suggest you to give proper rest to your hi joint , apply warm compresses , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI and physical examination by movements of hip joint . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , methotrexate , along with physical therapy and steroid injection in case of severe pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
