Pain in trouble is one of the frequent and most complex symptoms in patients of all ages. The most common cause is severe problems with the spine or pelvis, and small symptoms require immediate treatment.
Causes of hip pain
Diseases of the spine, which affect the nerve roots of the lumbar spine. Complicated by intervertebral hernia osteochondrosis causes a fairly vivid picture of pain, numbness, and light tingling in the thigh area. Usually, pain proceeds with seizures until the patient consults the doctor and resolves his problem. These problems usually occur in young and middle aged 15-50 years.
Diseases of the hip joint. Pain in the hip occurs with movements or loads on the joint. A characteristic feature for this problem is the limitation of mobility. When trying to spread legs, the joints are blocked and further movement is not possible.
Different length of legs. Sometimes, even in adulthood, patients can find out that there are different lengths of legs. This can be determined by lying on the back, looking at the heels or by conducting special measurements. Symptoms begin with a slight limping and pain in the thigh, which leads to a skew of the entire body, different height of the shoulders, a skewing of the neck, etc. With the correct diagnosis, the problem can be completely solved. Often in practice, one can come across a skewed pelvis that causes a false shortening.
