Having Hip Arthritis.Should I Be Concerned About A Crunching Noise In Hip?

There are crunching noises in my left hip and sometimes the sound of a finger bei8ng pulled acrossn inflated balloon. I know that I have arthritis in the hip, but it doesn't hurt much and only intermittently. Is it OK to ignore these noises until I have more pain?

Hello,

I have studied your case .
Yes you dont need to worry about noise from hip till there is pain.
There is cartilage cover over bone inside joint .Due to injury or degenerative changes there is tear in cartilage this leads to crunching noises.

Till time take cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help
