some of the conditions that commonly cause hip pain-

• Arthritis– systemic conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are some of the most common causes of hip pain. Inflammation in the hip is a result of arthritis, that results in breakdown of cartilage. This pain gets progressively worse if proper treatment is not administered.
• Fracture– in old age, breaking of the hip bone due to falling or tripping, is a fairly common phenomenon. This leads to severe pain in the hip region and immediate treatment is important.
• Bursitis– bursae are fluid filled sacs present around bones to help ease friction between them. Their inflammation is called bursitis and is a common cause for joint pain.
• Strain on the muscles or tendons can be caused due to repeated strenuous activities. Muscles and tendons can get tired and inflamed because of over use, leading to pain.
• Tendinitis- inflammation of tendons is called tendinitis and can cause severe discomfort.
