What Are the Symptoms of Hip RA?
Hip RA can cause symptoms such as severe hip joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Because RA can cause permanent joint damage, it is sometimes called a crippling disease. With RA’s hip pain, you may have discomfort and stiffness in the thigh, lower back, and groin. Other symptoms of RA include fatigue, appetite loss, fever and pain, swelling, and stiffness in other joints. RA symptoms can come on gradually or suddenly. You may have no hip pain at first, but then awaken with aching hips, lower back, and groin pain.
