Hip tendinitis is the swelling of the tissues, or tendons, connecting muscle to the bone in the hip joint. While requiring a medical diagnosis, it typically lasts a relatively short time in its milder form, resolving within days to weeks. Tendinitis occurs when a muscle or group of muscles are overused and strain the tendon that attaches the muscles to the bone.
Tendinitis typically feels sore in specific areas. At Sideline Orthopedics, we encourage you to be as detailed as possible in describing your hip pain so we can make an accurate diagnosis. You should be aware of the activity or activities that trigger the pain, where the pain occurs in your body, and anything that you can do to relieve the pain (such as resting).
