Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concerns. There are many reasons of hip pain but I think in your case the pain is related to hip osteoarthritis.Of course to confirm the diagnose you should do some tests such as X-rays ose ct scan. Some advices that I can give to you are : -Rest and joint care -Use of a cane to take weight off the affected hip -Nondrug pain relief techniques to control pain -Losing excess weight -Exercise -Medications, including acetaminophen (Tylenol), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen(Advil) If the pain don t relieve you should see a doctor.
