Suggest Treatment For Severe Hip Pain

Hi, My husband has hip pain and his doctor has suggested anti inflammatory drugs. He has just started taking them and received immediate relief. My concern is that he suffers from stomach ulcers which he didn t mention to his doctor. He is 55 years old, very active and has a history in his family (i.e. his mother) who suffers significantly from arthritis.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Your husband's hip pain needs to be investigated. Since he has family history of arthritis , he is prone to get arthritis at early age. Anti inflammatory medication will only give symptoms relief and will not affect disease progress. Since he is prone to stomach ulcers painkillers is known to cause severe gastritis and ulcers and he might get severe aggregation of symptoms. I would advise Xray of involved hip anteroposterior and lateral views and blood test for ra factor to confirm diagnosis. Please visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon with report. All the best.
