Brief Answer:
Avascular necrosis hip or Arthritis hip
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Thanks for the query.
Are you having very high cholesterol levels ?
Has anyone in your family ever underwent hip replacement ?
The severe pain and stiffness in both the hips could be due to a number of reasons but commonly in a patient with high cholesterol levels, Avascular necrosis of the hip occurs. The other cause could be setting of arthritis in the hips similar to the arthritis in your knees.
It could be possible that the Lipitor medicine be wasn't reducing your cholesterol levels adequately as Welchol due to ineffective dosage or order pharmacodynamic reasons.
Hyaluronate does not cause any such symptoms.
I advise you to apply hot packs to the hip region as this helps to increase local good spot and provide some relief. Avoid climbing stairs, cross leg sitting, squatting as these activities can aggravate the pain of arthritis or Avascular necrosis.
Kindly show to your Orthopaedic surgeon and get evaluated with a proper hip and knee exam and required investigations like Xray or MRI as necessary to help diagnose your condition.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be very available to answer follow up queries.
Thanking you.
