Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows: 1. Sclerosis is excessive calcification due to recurrent damage and is due to associated osteoarthrosis. 2. Due to joint swelling and associated inflammation, you are having severe pain. 3. You will require hip replacement if you want to be mobile and pain free. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
