Hello,
I have studied your case.
Your reports suggest degenerative changes,arthroscopy can only reduce symptoms for longer duration.
Minimal damage of ligament and cartilage can heal but lerger damage will eventually progress to arthritis.
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
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
