General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. greetings! Thanks for your query! Hip pain can be due to a number of factors. It may be due to muscle stiffness around the hip area. It maybe painful due to osteoarthritis. Initial stage changes are difficult to pick up on a X-ray. Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects the small joints, very rarely the huge joints. I would suggest you to apply a local pain relieving gel, as well as over the counter pain killers. A course of physiotherapy may help too.
