Sciatica is pain that occurs due to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. The pain can occur anywhere along the nerve, including the hip. Sciatica typically affects one side of the body, and the pain can be sharp or shooting. It may radiate toward the buttocks and leg. Other causes of hip pain include arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, and injury. The type of pain can vary depending on the cause. Some causes may also cause bruising, swelling, and heat in the hip. A doctor can help diagnose sciatica and rule out other causes of hip pain. Treatment may depend on the severity and the underlying cause. However, options may include home remedies, medication, or surgery. (责任编辑：) |
