Common Causes of Hip Pain

An accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Hip pain can originate from several structures:

Gluteal Tendinopathy — Degeneration of the gluteus medius or minimus tendons causing lateral hip and buttock pain
Trochanteric Bursitis — Inflammation of the bursa over the hip bone, often accompanying tendon problems
Hip Flexor Tendinopathy — Iliopsoas tendon degeneration causing groin and anterior hip pain
Hip Osteoarthritis — Joint cartilage breakdown causing deep aching pain with activity
Piriformis Syndrome — Buttock and sciatic-type pain from piriformis muscle irritation
Referred Pain — Lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint problems that cause pain perceived in the hip

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who would I see in Columbus?

Dr. Siraj Abdullah, based in Columbus, Georgia. Evaluation, imaging and the procedure itself are all handled locally rather than requiring a trip to Atlanta.

Is an MRI needed first?

Not necessarily. Diagnostic ultrasound is often sufficient for tendon assessment and has the practical advantage of being dynamic, though your physician may request an MRI in some cases.

How soon can I return to work?

Sedentary work is usually resumed quickly. Work involving prolonged standing, climbing or heavy lifting is reintroduced more gradually as the tendon tolerates load.

What are the risks?

As with any procedure that breaks the skin there is a risk of infection, bleeding and incomplete symptom relief. Your physician should review these with you in detail beforehand.

This information is general and is not medical advice. Whether any procedure is appropriate for you can only be determined by a physician who has examined you and reviewed your imaging.
