A member asked:
Hip pain as a consequence of progressive degeneration and arthritis will lead to hip replacement or orthoscopy ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hip pain treatments: Hip degeneration is common, and doesn't lead to replacement unless the joint is badly damaged. Weight control, balanced walking, and hip muscle strengthening, will preserve the joint.
