Suggest Treatment For Hip Pain

I am female,73, great health, went to new Dr for hip pain and she looked in my records and immediately found a chest xray from a year and a half ago, was concerned and had me get a chest xray..results vascular congestion and interstitial lung changes, no changes. I am freaking out, had no idea I had a problem altho over the last year or two I had mentioned to my doctor I was short of breath and he reassured me I was fine. Can you advise ? Thank you, Bonnie

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Pain along hip joint indicates possibility of hip arthritis.
Hip arthritis 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.

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.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help

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.
