Does Bone On Bone In Hip Cause Pain In The Groin Area?
I am 61, very active, a little overweight. I had an xray done last week and it showed that I have bone on bone in my hip joint. I have had a severe pain in my groin area for sometime. Is that pain coming from the bone on bone in my hip? Should I consider hip replacement right now?

Dear patient
bone on bone in right hip means there is severe arthritis of right hip. Your age (61) is appropriate for total hip replacement and it is the best treatment for hip arthritis. Hip joint pain can be seen in groin area, buttock area and even referred to same side knee joint. There will be limping while walking with antalhic gait. you need to consult arthroplasty surgeon nearby you for THR.
