Hip arthritis typically affects people over 50 years of age, and symptoms progress as the condition worsens. Inflammatory arthritis of the hip is characterized by a dull, aching pain that is usually worse in the morning and lessens with activity. Vigorous activity can result in increased pain and stiffness. The pain may limit your movements or make walking difficult.
