Can be due to osteoarthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A pain in the hip and knee at your age can be due to osteoarthritic changes in the weight bearing joints. These are basically age related degenerative changes in the weight bearing joints and is characterized by joint pain and stiffness. Upon movement the stiffness gradually relives. Sometimes application of hot pads can make the movement possible.
The treatment options include pain killers, hot fomentation, lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin , dycerin, etc and some life style modifications and physiotherapy.
Do consult an orthopedician for physical examination. A few blood tests, X-rays, CT / MRI scans will help us diagnose the condition and help us in choosing the best approach of treatment.
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.
