Menopause and perimenopause can cause hip pain due to hormonal changes that increase inflammation and affect pain perception. Treatments include hormone replacement therapy (preferably body-identical hormones), lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, and specific hip mobility exercises to alleviate stiffness and improve joint function.
A 15-year-old girl experiences severe hip and back pain, along with unusual symptoms like ribs popping out, leading to a complex medical diagnosis.
Hip pain is common and can affect all ages, often caused by issues like labral tears that increase the risk of arthritis if untreated. Experts advise not ignoring persistent pain, especially if it affects sitting, walking, or other daily activities, and recommend early medical evaluation, along with strengthening and stretching exercises to improve hip health.
Physical therapists recommend a simple 5-minute hip mobility routine for people over 50 to alleviate hip pain caused by joint wear-and-tear or a sedentary lifestyle. The routine includes five exercises: single knee to chest, figure four stretch, butterfly stretch, hip flexor lunge stretch, and 90-90 stretch. These exercises can improve hip mobility, reduce fall risks, and prevent further pain. However, if hip pain is sharp or prevents daily activities, consult a physical therapist before attempting the routine.
