Daily functioning can include, but is not limited to, walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs and bathtubs. The pain is persistent or recurring over an extended period of time.
Prolonged stiffness of the hip
Stiffness that persists for 45 minutes or longer is a possible indication of osteorthritis, a chronic degenerative condition. It may also be associated with persistent pain.
Persistent clicking of the hip
A vague discomfort or clicking sensation may sometimes be felt. It may be related to a recent exercise or change in posture. This is persistent or recurring over an extended period of time.
