Answers: Does hip arthritis and hip joint damage actually cause hip pain?

• hip pain causes
• hip arthritis mechanics
• acetabulum and femur anatomy
• range of motion in damaged joints

What it concludes

• Studies show no link between arthritis seen on X-rays and actual symptoms or pain levels.
• Damage or chinking of the femoral head or acetabulum does not prevent range of motion in the hip joint.
• Hip pain originates from muscles not being used, used well, or used right rather than from structural bone damage.
