  • Injuries: Sprains, strains, and cartilage tears in the hip or knee can cause significant pain and instability.
  • Muscle Imbalances: Weak or tight muscles can contribute to improper joint mechanics and pain.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) around the hip or knee can cause pain and tenderness.
