So hip osteoarthritis is a common condition that is essentially the loss of the normal cartilage lining of the hip joint. It’s a problem that can be treated in a number of different ways. In the first instance, I would recommend that you go out there, do exercise, try and keep the joint nice and supple and strengthen the muscles around the hip. Sometimes taking some simple painkillers can be enough to keep the symptoms under control as can perhaps losing a little bit of weight. If that isn’t enough, then there are a number of things that we can offer such as injections into the hip joint or even considering surgery, such as a hip replacement.
