Hip joint pain may result from injuries, synovitis, or other causes. Patients may experience hip joint pain after intense physical activity due to damage to muscles and ligaments. It may also stem from overuse-induced aseptic arthritis or synovitis. Oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, as well as those promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis, may be used. If the pain persists or fails to improve, further evaluation at a hospital is recommended.
