Hip pain: what does it mean?

Relieve pain
Paracetamol or anti-inflammatories occasionally, always according to the advice of a healthcare professional.

Move… but gently

Suggested activities: swimming, cycling, regular walking on flat terrain.

Physical therapy sessions help enhance the muscles around the hip and keep good mobility.

Ease pressure on the joint
Losing a few pounds is often enough to significantly ease discomfort .

When pain becomes chronic…

Surgery (hip replacement) may be examined. Today, it is a popular and well-controlled procedure : more than 90% of patients regain lasting mobility for 10 to 15 years.

Listen to your body, act right now
Neglecting pain won’t make it go away. If you spot these symptoms, or if a loved one complains of them, visiting a doctor is the first step toward a more comfortable daily life.
