Understanding Hip Pain – Is It Normal?
Although the hip joint is biologically designed for flexibility and to withstand a great deal of wear-and-tear, it can still give way to injury (to the hip joint itself, the hip bones that comprise it or to the muscles and tendons surrounding it), which results in hip pain.
One question patients often ask when experiencing any kind of pain—hip or otherwise—is, “Isn’t pain just a ‘normal’ part of life and aging?” The most straightforward answer is “no.” There is a significant difference between “normal” and “common” in medicine.
On the contrary, the sooner the doctors at Carondelet Health Network and Carondelet Medical Group can help determine what is causing the hip pain, the sooner you may be able to get back to living an active life, free from the pain that may be preventing you from doing the things you love.

What Causes Hip Pain?
No matter the scale you place it on, your hip pain may not have to be disabling. From a general soreness that you may not consider unbearable to a “catching” or “rubbing” sensation in your hip joint that you might not even place in the pain category, these sensations still require evaluation and diagnosis from a trained, skilled, experienced orthopedic expert. Our goal is to solve the problem causing the discomfort before it becomes so severe that it is disabling.
