Brief Answer: If required intra-articular injection can be given Detailed Answer: Hello, I have studied your case. You may be suffering with arthritis and there are less medication for pain due arthritis. I would start you on analgesics likeetodolac 300 and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate. These are prescription only medicines. Your treating doctors will know about it. 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 if no relief with medication. Diet rich in calcium and protein will help. At age of 76 osteoporosis can be associated so you may need to take calcium supplement. 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.
