Brief Answer:
Ostearthritis/Bursitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir!

Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

I understand your concern.Hip pain during walking ,makes me think of two possibilities 1)Osteoarthritis 2)Bursitis.


In osteoarthritis, the pain can be stabbing and sharp or it can be a dull ache, and the hip is often stiff.Though there is no single diagnostic test but an Xray alongwith your symptom can be conclusive.Doing light exercise,rest and joint care would help.

The treatment would be same in case of bursitis,with ice compression on the area.

Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.
