10 Causes of Hip Pain

4. Osteonecrosis

Osteonecrosis can start in your hip and eventually affect your shoulders, femur, knees, ankles, and other bones. With this condition, bone tissue begins to die because of insufficient blood supply. This disease can affect several bones or concentrate on one bone. This disease is seen primarily in people between 40 to 65 years of age. While women can develop the condition, it primarily affects men.

5. Septic Arthritis

Anterior hip pain is a symptom that indicates you may be experiencing septic hip arthritis. Damaging elements, like microorganisms, injury, a puncture, viral infections, or fungi, can enter the joint. Staph bacteria is the number one cause of septic arthritis. In addition to hip pain, your symptoms may include swollen joints, fever, and tender joints. Chances for developing this condition increase if you have recently had hip joint surgery, you are advanced in age, or you have rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, hip osteoarthritis, or a knee or hip prosthesis.
