Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I ve had an x-ray of my hip and am told no fractures, but possible arthritis. But I experience great pain in the hip and about to see orthopedic dr. for closer examination as feels like something unaligned. Figure to get diagnosis and start physical therapy. Sound about right course. Could it be something else, though?
Arthritis can cause inflammation of the bone that results in reduced space at the joint, and so possible friction between the bones in the hip (which is a ball and socket joint). So treatment of arthritis should be the primarily approach, physiotherapy is secondary.
Best wishes.
