arthritis of the hip in 46, What are the symptoms? Can someone, preferably someone who has arthritis of the hip or knows someone with it, tell me the symptoms of arthritis by stressing the hip. Recently I had a lot of pain and discomfort in my hip area, the pain is mostly on the sides of my legs and around my groin area. Also while walking my right leg yield at the top, where my leg meets my hip, and it causes severe pain and I almost fall. I am overweight and is worse than trying to walk to lose this weight that things have become much worse. Can anyone help.
This sounds like the symptoms I have of osteoarthritis of the hip. It's terrible trying to lose weight when it hurts to move, but have you tried swimming? I am still unable to do so now - it's a vicious circle because you need to lose weight, but exercise can be agony. Do go see your GP - it can organize a hip x-ray and / or refer you to an orthopedic surgeon. There are a number of options that the surgeon can suggest and not all involve the replacement of the hip. He may suggest physical therapy and painkillers too.
At 46, it is very early / young Tobe who underwent hip and the sound is not enough adavnced all.
Generally, people begin to have joint replacements in their mid-60s.
Save yourself some money and lose weight. This is what your doctor would tell you. Better safe than sorry. Report Abuse
It seems that osteoarthritis.
Overweight and excessive use of athletes are the main causes of those days.
Years ago he was carrying buckets of water on a yoke on the shoulders of the city and the family home.
Losing weight is 70% change in diet and exercise 30%. Cut the corn - cakes, bread, cookies, sugary cereals.
It could be arthritis, it can also be sciatica, which is a nerve that goes down this region, its best to get a correct diagnosis from a GP. Physio can help greatly. but you need a prescription from a doctor. Or private pay to see an osteopath / chiropractor
It certainly seems like arthritis, can you feel sort of milling. I have problems with mine and I am very thin, it's just wear and tear. Ask your doctor for an X-ray then you'll know for sure.
Good luck.
