Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Researching information on arthritis of the hip. Just started when you joined in. Did not know that this condition can affect so many other parts of the body. Have previous injuries to feet and having other pain in other parts of my lower back, hip, and down that leg! Anyway, I need to start reading. Having hip X-ray on Thursday and I am hoping that will explain a lot.
