Brief Answer:
Early hip arthritis

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain in your hips that radiate into the upper thighs. This is usually the beginning of early osteoarthritis of the hip. The best treatment is the anti-inflammatory you are now taking ibuprofen and rest. There is no treatment that actually will reverse or slow the progression of osteoarthritis. Of course the only true way of know if you have osteoarthritis of the hip is to have xrays of the hip. I do recommend that you see your medical provider and see if they will do xrays of your hips to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
