Let me help: The first thing to do try to lose weight that will you. Also you use tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin to ease the pain. Some local cream some time help. Physical therapy with moist heat also help. Injection of steroid some is needed to control the pain. If you a lot of debris in the joint , some cleaning the joint also help. If all these measures done and did help surgery will be the answer.
