Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you have are due to osteoarthritic changes. These are basically age related degenerative changes in the weight bearing joints like hip 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.
Right now you can start taking Tablet Tylenol ( Acetaminophen) Double Strength after breakfast and after dinner. It is suggested to add calcium supplements 500mg each twice daily. This will take care of your mild symptoms in 3-5 days.
You can start with walking and aerobic fitness exercises.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
