Outer Hip Pain: Why Does the Outside of My Hip Hurt?<\/h1>\n

Outer hip pain often comes from the tendons and cushioning tissues beside the hip rather than from the ball-and-socket joint itself.<\/strong> The location, activities that provoke it, and symptoms that accompany it can help narrow the possibilities\u2014but they cannot confirm a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

This guide explains common causes of outer hip pain, why side sleeping and stairs can matter, which symptoms need prompt or emergency care, how clinicians evaluate the problem, and how treatment may differ by diagnosis.<\/p>\n <\/header>\n\n

Quick Answer: What Usually Causes Pain on the Outside of the Hip?<\/h2>\n

A common explanation is greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS)<\/strong>, an umbrella term for pain involving the gluteal tendons, nearby bursae, or both. It often causes tenderness over the bony side of the hip and may worsen with side sleeping, prolonged standing, walking, stairs, running, or getting up from a chair.<\/p>\n

Outer hip pain can also come from a muscle or tendon injury, snapping of the iliotibial band, hip osteoarthritis, a nerve problem, referred pain from the lower back, or\u2014less commonly\u2014a fracture or infection. Severe pain after a fall, inability to bear weight, a hot swollen joint with fever, or chest pain and shortness of breath with one-sided leg swelling requires urgent assessment.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n
