Precautions: Pain/agony at rest, no response to arthritis medication, unable to bear any weight on the affected side: all are signs that you may need hip replacent or injections of antiinflammatory medication.

Avoid aggravation: You would like to remain active, ideally would avoid high impact activities or really any activities that seem like they aggravate your symptoms.
