Frequently asked questions
What causes hip pain?
Hip pain can result from:
- Arthritis
- Muscle or tendon strain
- Labral tears
- Hip impingement
- Bursitis
- Injuries from sports or falls
At Mass General Brigham, our specialists perform a detailed evaluation to pinpoint the cause of hip pain and design a treatment plan that fits your needs.
When should I see a doctor for hip pain?
You should schedule an appointment if pain lasts more than a few days, interferes with walking, sleeping, or daily activities, or follows an injury. If you experience sudden severe pain, swelling, or cannot bear weight, seek urgent medical care.
What are the treatment options for hip pain?
Treatment may include physical therapy, activity modification, medications, and image-guided injections. For more complex conditions, our surgeons offer minimally invasive and reconstructive procedures designed to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Do all hip problems require surgery?
No. Many patients improve with non-surgical care such as physical therapy, injections, and strength training. Surgery is only recommended when conservative options are not effective or when joint damage is advanced.
What can I expect after hip surgery?
Most patients begin walking within days of surgery and start physical therapy soon after. Our care team will design a recovery plan to help you regain mobility safely and return to daily activities or sports as quickly as possible.
