Pain In Hips. Done Total Hysterectomy, Feet Reconstructed, Ball Joint Fused
I have pain in both hips. Kind of feels like they are bruised but I see nothing. Feels worse after I sit for longer periods - like driving long ways. 44 yr old female 5'7". 150 lbs. total hysterectomy +7 yrs. both feet reconstructed. Thinking maybe hips are out of alignment due to my feet. Ball joint fused, 2 screwed holding bones from big toe to my ankle I place.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your history there can be hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN].
I will advise you do X ray of hip and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.
After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI.
Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.
If required intra-articular injection can be given.
Diet rich in calcium and protein will help as osteoporosis is common post hysterectomy .
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
