Does Pain In My Upper Leg And Hip Indicate Arthritis?

Unlikely to be arthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that in females arthritis may not present with hip pain as first manifestation . This is highly unlikely .
Assigning a reason as to why its occuring is very difficult but an X ray of hip joints is required to rule out sacroilitis . Sometimes spondyloarthropathy can present with hip pain . If you get low backache or any of your family members suffer from some kind of arthritis or history of psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease then its a reason to evaluate further a these are rare types of arthritis presenting with hip pain .
Any other associated feature if you could tell will be very helpful in guiding your further.
Take care.
Dr. Shruti
