Suggest Treatment For Hip Joint Pain
my hips joint hurts when I put weight on it, like when I walk.
It's been going on for at least a year
I don't want to take meds and want to continue my daily walks.
Some walks are deep into the woods for several hours.'
the pain isn't increasing but it's not going away.
I'm 73.
should I see a doctor?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms could be due to sciatica and it is better to have bed rest till you get it confirm the diagnosis, if this is the sciatica then it could be surgical condition, till then "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg" can be taken once in day, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
