Excessive exercise or weight-bearing activities, such as climbing stairs, mountain climbing, or hiking, can stimulate the synovial membrane, increase synovial fluid secretion, and lead to hip joint pain. This is often due to long-term use of corticosteroids or excessive alcohol consumption, which cause soreness, swelling, and pain in the hip joint. Patients with more severe conditions may experience symptoms such as short limbs and difficulty walking. The location, nature, and duration of the pain can all help in accurately diagnosing and treating the underlying cause of the pain.
