Are you experiencing hip pain but wondering if it might actually be coming from your spine? 🤔 You're not alone! It's a common confusion because these two areas are so closely linked.
Understanding the difference can help you describe your symptoms more accurately to your doctor and get the right treatment faster.

Here's a quick guide to help you differentiate:
🦴 Hip-Related Pain usually means: Pain in the groin or front of the hip.
👟Worsens with hip movement (e.g., rotating your leg).
May feel stiff in the hip joint.

🧠 Spine-Related Pain often means: Pain in the back of the hip or buttocks.
☄️May shoot down the back of the leg (sciatica) with numbness or tingling.
🪑Often changes with spine positions (e.g., better when sitting or leaning forward).

🚩Remember: This is for informational purposes only. Always consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan!

If you're unsure, it's always best to get it checked out. Your health is worth it!

Did you know these have a name?

Dimples of Venus are two symmetrical indentations in the lower back, named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. They are caused by a short ligament tethering the skin to the underlying hip bone, the posterior superior iliac spine. While they are a result of genetics and body fat distribution, their presence or absence has no medical significance.
