Hi, thanks for writing to HCM. As per your age, you might be also having arthritic changes in the hip joint (apart from tendinitis) producing pain. So, I suggest you to go for an xray of the hip joint which shows the amount of degeneration in the joint. The general treatment guidelines are as follows - * ACTIVITY MODIFICATION -It is important to maintain as much activity and joint motion as possible, but impact activities will aggravate arthritis. Running and jumping will often accelerate cartilage loss from the joint. The key is to focus on low impact activities, such as swimming or cycling. These are the best forms of exercise with arthritic hips as they do not require significant weight bearing across the hip joints. * CANES - Canes or walking sticks are useful, particularly when the arthritis affects only one side. It is important to use the cane in the opposite hand from the bad hip or knee. This allows you to lean away from the bad leg, taking weight off of it. * WEIGHT LOSS - Significant weight loss for obese patients can make a dramatic difference in the pain arising from arthritic joints. * HIP INJECTIONS - Injection therapies do not cure the underlying problems of arthritis, but can be useful for short term relief (potentially for a few months). * NON STEROIDAL ANTIINFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs) - This family of medications includes aspirin, ibuprofen, naprosyn, and other non-narcotic medications to decrease pain and inflammation. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
