Symptoms associated with hip problems
Dr Andrew Dutton discusses the symptoms patients typically experience with hip problems
With hip problems the most common symptom is pain, Dr Dutton says. “The pain is usually located in the groin, which is at the front of the hip, and that’s what people don’t always understand.”
Other issues that people can get are clicking - some people get clicking of the hip when they're exercising - and then if they have pain and clicking they often have a little bit of a limp that can be noticed if they are walking for long periods. Other symptoms include difficulty putting on their shoes and socks or cutting their toenails and that's usually associated with hip stiffness as well. These are the main symptoms people experience.
