Chronic hip pain refers to persistent discomfort in or around the hip joint that lasts for weeks or months and interferes with daily activities. The pain may be felt deep in the joint, along the outer hip, in the groin, buttock, or upper thigh, and can range from a dull ache to sharp or burning pain.
Unlike short-term pain caused by injury or overuse, chronic hip pain often develops gradually and may worsen over time. It can affect walking, standing, sitting, sleeping, and overall mobility. Many patients notice stiffness after rest, limited range of motion, or pain that increases with activity.
Chronic hip pain may result from joint wear, inflammation, muscle or tendon strain, nerve irritation, or reduced blood flow to the tissues surrounding the hip. In some cases, circulation-related inflammation plays a role in ongoing pain that does not respond well to traditional treatments alone.
Identifying the underlying cause of chronic hip pain is essential for effective treatment. Early evaluation can help reduce discomfort, improve movement, and prevent further joint or tissue damage.
At Heart, Vascular & Leg Center, Vinod Kumar, MD, FACC, and his expert team use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the source of your hip pain and offer targeted, minimally invasive treatments. Schedule your consultation today.
Chronic hip pain can develop gradually or appear after an injury, and symptoms often worsen with activity or long periods of sitting or standing. Common signs include:
Chronic hip pain can result from a combination of joint, muscle, nerve, and circulation-related issues. Common causes include:
In some patients, pain persists despite treating these factors—suggesting another underlying cause.
Chronic hip pain is not always purely orthopedic. In many cases, vascular inflammation and reduced blood flow play an important role. The hip joint and surrounding muscles rely on a healthy blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients needed for tissue repair.
When circulation is impaired—due to vascular disease, inflammation, diabetes, or microvascular dysfunction—healing slows and inflammation persists. This can lead to:
This vascular component helps explain why some patients continue to experience hip pain despite physical therapy, medications, or injections. Identifying and treating circulation-related contributors can be key to achieving long-term relief.
