Sports which involve a lot of twisting and kicking frequently can cause pain in or around the hip. Problems can arise as a result of repetitive type movements or due to high impact injuries such as in contact sports.
The majority of these problems can settle with rest and physiotherapy, but others will require surgical intervention eventually.
