Core Tip	This study evaluated anticipated vs experienced pain during intra-articular hip injections (IAHIs) in 60 prospectively recruited patients, with or without pre-injection local anesthesia. Anticipated pain was significantly overestimated compared to experienced pain, and pre-injection local anesthesia did not affect the experienced pain. These results suggest that the hip joint capsule may significantly contribute to nociception during IAHI, more so than the superficial soft tissues along the needle trajectory. Ultimately, these findings provide valuable insight into the pain experienced during IAHI and may help improve patient experiences.
