What Is Hip Pain and Bursitis?

Hip pain refers to discomfort in or around the hip joint, affecting movement and daily activities such as walking, sitting, or standing. It can be caused by injury, overuse, muscle strain, or underlying conditions like arthritis or tendon problems. Bursitis is a condition where the bursae—small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints—become inflamed. In the hip, this often results in pain on the outer side of the joint, especially during movement or when lying on the affected side. Both conditions can lead to stiffness, tenderness, and reduced mobility, and may require physiotherapy and proper care for effective relief.
