Hip Pain treatment in Noida | Noida Pain Management Clinic
The majority of hip pain patients that we see in our Noida clinic, complain of pain around the hip and upper leg. Osteoarthritis of the hip is a major reason for hip pain followed by rheumatoid arthritis. In this condition, there is damage to the cartilage of the hip joint (cartilage is like a cushion for the joint, and its wear and tear cause pain in the joint).
Hip pain patients may complain of the following- 1. Patients complain of pain around the hip in all activities involving the legs. There is pain on sitting cross-legged and after some time even night pain may be present. 2. Patient may want to rest which gives some relief. 3. Walking, climbing stairs, and getting up after sitting for a long time may cause pain. 4. Sometimes bursitis like Trochanteric bursitis may cause hip pain. It may happen after long-distance cycling in athletes. 5. Fracture of hip can cause very severe pain with the patient not being able to move. Most common cause of hip fracture is due to osteoporosis where bones become very weak.Always get older patient’s bones checked at a regular intervals to avoid fracture of hip (DEXA scan).
