I have a subchondral cyst in my right hip joint that causes a great deal of pain when i move certain ways. can it be removed?

Yes and no: Subchondral cyst usually means you have osteoarthritis in your hip. Often the answer is total hip replacement in this scenario you should see a orthopedic surgeon and discuss this
