The area of pain can often direct us to any underlying issues or the direct source of your hip pain.
If the problem is within the hip joint itself, you will usually feel pain on the inside of your hip or your groin.
Problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues that surround your hip joint usually result in hip pain on the outside of your hip, upper thigh or outer buttock.
Hip pain can also be caused by referred pain from dysfunction in other areas of your body.
