It's the ball moving in a cup
-
that creates all of this versatility of motion;
-
you can swing it around different ways.
-
Well, when this joint gets diseased,
-
movement becomes much more difficult.
-
In general, it's a degenerative disease that the bones
-
and the cartilage start to break down,
-
and so now this cup
-
and ball don't move so smoothly over one another.
-
When they don't move smoothly over another,
-
they generate friction, they generate pain.
-
So, degenerating hips can cause tremendous amounts of pain for people.
