A member asked:
I have a pain in my hip which is really uncomfortable when sitting. the pain eased when standing. is this likely to be just a strain?

Where is the pain: Hip pain may be the joint pain but it may also be the bursitis about the hip. You need to discuss this with your physician, consider X-rays if necessary. The tenderness may be due to muscles and soft tissue pain which would explain then pain with sitting and improvement when you get up. This is localized soft tissue pain like trochanteric bursitis.
