For someone who's been refused a hip replacement on medical grounds and what treatment woukd they get?

Non-surgical: There are several effective options when surgery isn't possible. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, like ibuprofen, can help when taken regularly. Avoiding specific, aggravating activities can also help decrease pain. Xray guided injections are sometimes beneficial for months at a time when other treatments fail. Finally, physical therapy can sometimes help keep you more mobile.
