Cause #4: Osteonecrosis
Osteonecrosis is a condition that can become quite serious and occurs when there isn’t enough blood flow reaching a bone or a joint. When this happens, the cells in the area may die. If too many cells die, then the bone itself can actually collapse.
It goes without saying that if your bones collapse, then you will experience a great deal of discomfort. One of the most common regions that osteonecrosis can occur is in the hips.
