What Causes Pain In The Hips?

I’ve been having hip pain for about 9 months off and on. It’s fine when I’m sitting or driving, but when i get up to walk my hip feels stiff with a small amount of pain. What could this be? What are my options to heal my hip and make the pain go away?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Is the pain sharping and severe in nature? If so, it is possibly something called “sciatica” developing as result of compression of sciatic nerve in upper thigh and hip region. As of now you can analgesics like Tramadol and Gabapentin. If pain is very much severe and doesn’t response to analgesics, then better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
