A member asked:
Can any doc explain why are my hips stiff when i get up from sitting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: There are many reasons for this such as arthritis, weakening bones, and poor muscle strength/endurance. The other cause is diabetes which can cause a condition called peripheral myopathy where your hips hurt when you get up. This can feel like stiffness. Regardless, if it's mild and not due to injury or past surgery, try stretching and strength training.
