What Does Pain In The Hips Indicate?
I am having pain in in my hip and am thinking that it might be bursitis. It is relieved by sitting to take the pressure off and also be taking ibuprofen. My husband recently had his knee replaced so I have been doing extra care giving activities and am wondering if that could have exacerbated it. I am 68 years old and have lower back pain but this is different. Thanks for your help

Hello,
Pain at the hips in this age may be due to arthritis or bursitis or avascular necrosis or labrum injury et cetera.
Please consult your orthopedician, he will examine and investigate through MRI and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
