Brief Answer: You need to do MRI hip and may be spine again Detailed Answer: Hello, I have studied your case. As per your history there can be possibility of hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN]. I will advise you do MRI of hip and you can consult with your doctor. Another possibility of spinal nerve root compression which can be confirmed by MRI spine. 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 but do MRI hip before it. Diet XXXXXXX 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.
