Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I came to know that you may be having early osteoarthritis of hip as you earlier suffered from Perthes Disease as a child . It can be confirmed by x-pelvis with both hips AP view. Its treatment is diacerine and glucosamin. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovering.You can follow up orthopedic surgeon for it. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
