A member asked:

By hip is getting very stiff sitting long periods limping when walking happening last 2 weeks haven't injured it, and it's painful any advice on what?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hip discomfort: In your age bracket, such discomfort is usually due to hip bursitis rather than arthritis. Occasionally other disorders like congenital defects,slipped epiphysis are the problem. An orthopedic surgeon is best qualified to evaluate you if symptoms persist. Meanwhile nsaids like ibuprofen,if you can take them, May help.
