Experiencing aching and burning in the hips despite normal MRI results can be confusing. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the hips can cause pain that radiates to the groin, buttocks, knee, or outer thigh, and may feel dull, achy, or throbbing. This pain can worsen with physical activity or after prolonged sitting or resting. Even if imaging appears normal, RA can still cause significant discomfort. Consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential blood tests for inflammation markers might be helpful.
