Brief Answer:
TENS can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The hip impingement and disc bulge that you have is progressive age related disorder. Apparently surgical correction is not feasible in your case.
Perhaps physiotherapy, continued use of pain relieving medications along with alternative therapies such as accupunture may be helpful. Discuss about these options with the physiotherapist.
Few other options of treatment which may be useful in reducing pain and maintaining functional lifestyle are 'Transcutaneous Electric Nerve stimulation (TENS) units', relaxation techniques, occupational and physical therapy approaches.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
