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.
My doctor said I had some calcification around my hip and the joint. I have pian if sit for long period of time and if I make lateral movements to quickly. I am taking a generic form of mobic but would like to know if there is something I can do beside the mobic or hip replacement.
If your problem is due to calcification around hip joint then instead of going straight to hip replacement you may ask for endoscopic release of calcification or debridement at / near hip joint. You may discuss this from your doctor. He is the best judge for this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
