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.
I AM 58 YEARS OLD. WAITING FOR A HIP REPLACEMENT , DON T HAVE THE DATE YET AND SEEM TO BE GETTING LESS AND LESS MOBILE. MY KNEES HURT SO MUCH WHEN I TRY TO SLEEP THEY KEEP ME UP. I ALSO HAVE A SWOLLEN ANKLE THAT GETS A LITTLE BIGGER EVERY WEEK. CAN I DO ANY THING TO RELIEVE ANY OF THIS ? I WORK FULL TIME 42 HOURS A WEEK ON MY FEET, SO WHEN I GET OUT I AM BEAT!
I have studied your case. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. If required intra-articular injection can be given.
