 When one suffers hip osteoarthritis , the cartilage that cushions the hip joint/s wears away, causing friction, damage to the bones, and inflammation often followed by severe pain and stiffness in the joint. There are several treatments to the problem. However, Dr Rahul Sharma from Life in motion clinic explains that your # Orthopaedic Surgeon needs to consider several other things too before suggesting you the exact treatment. "Your overall health, the severity of joint involvement, the severity of #symptoms, motion and weight-bearing limitations, and a few other individual factors determine what treatment needs to be given. Initially, simple #exercises and #stretching are suggested, but if the problem persists, one can even have to undergo hip replacement surgery," he shares.

Consult hip joint osteoarthritis

  Osteoarthritis , the most common form of arthritis , occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. Patients who have osteoarthritis of the hip have difficulty walking, climbing stairs and abnormal gait during walking. Diagnosis can be difficult at first. That's because pain can appear in different locations, including the groin, thigh, buttocks, or knee, developing slowly and worsening over time. The symptoms include: • Pain during or after movement. • Stiffness most noticeable upon awakening or after being inactive. • Tenderness and swelling. • Loss of flexibility. • Grating sensation  when you use the joint , with popping or crackling sound sometimes. • Bone spurs or extra bits of bone, which feel like hard lumps, form around the affected joint . Treatment depends on the stage of osteoarthritis. Visit our website : click here
