Pain on the upper right hip bone may be caused by various factors, primarily summarized as follows:
1. Poor posture: Long-term maintenance of improper sitting posture may lead to pain in the hip area.
2. Fasciitis: Localized aseptic inflammation of the fascia, which may be caused by overuse in the hip area, manifesting as pain and swelling.
3. Lumbar disc herniation: Herniated discs in the lumbar spine may compress surrounding nerves, causing pain and swelling in the upper right hip area.
4. Trauma: Injuries such as bruises or impact wounds may cause local soft tissue and nerve damage, resulting in pain.
Additionally, pain may also be caused by other factors such as femoral head necrosis or bone cancer. If symptoms are severe, prompt medical attention is recommended.
