Should I exercise with hip pain?
Gentle exercise is usually beneficial. Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling help maintain flexibility and strength.
What doctor should I see for hip pain?
Start with your primary care doctor. They may refer you to an orthopedic specialist, rheumatologist, or physical therapist.
Can hip pain go away on its own?
Minor strains or inflammation often improve within a few weeks with rest, stretching, and gentle activity.
