Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Hip symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had the hip symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • What particular hip symptoms do you experience? - e.g. hip pain, hip stiffness, hip swelling.
  • Are the hip symptoms unilateral or bilateral?
  • If pain is present, tell me how the pain started?
  • Could you describe the pain? - pain associated with the hip joint is usually described as a deep aching pain, aggravated by movements and felt in the groin and front to inner side of the upper thigh, sometimes exclusively around the knee.
