The Best Hip Arthritis Treatments Without Surgery

[@karenpiraneo5426]

Wow, a doctor who really knows his stuff! Thank you! I have yet (after 10 years) to find a doctor give me this information. I'm 71 now and was told to get a replacement 8 years ago. I refused, changed my diet, lost 25 lbs., and stretch, strengthen on the floor everyday and swim 4 times a week. I'm now 90% better than I was. I do still have bad days, and Tylenol pretty much does the trick. So glad to learn about PRP and Visco injections just in case I can benefit from them even more in the future. Thanks again!

THANK YOU DOCTOR!. This is the BEST common sense advise video i've seen. After 5 years of not seeing my doctor, I went to see him about my VERY ANGRY LEFT HIP.. He immediately said that I would need HIP REPLACEMENT (wtf?). My HIP problem was what I believe caused by me working from home sitting in my uncomfortable chair in front of my monitor for 40-65 hrs per week for the past 4 years. Little by little, after a year of sitting for the 40--65 hrs, it started to be painful to get out of my chair and eventually my walking, bending, sleeping, getting into my car, driving and everything got very painful to do. But I will beat this tho. I WILL FOLLOW YOUR ADVISE and BEAT IT. NO HIP REPLACEMENT FOR ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I was in bad shape about three weeks ago….limping around…thinking..this is it? Until surgery?? I felt like I aged so much so quick. I knew it was hip related. I was using pain relievers..crème..patches..even quit my sales job..too much walking. I finally did some excersizes…nothing that extreme…moved my ball joint in different directions..stretching…I cannot believe how much better I feel!! No more sharp pain w every other step. My leg does feel sore but not achey like it was. Thank you for educating us.

[@cyndykated358]

I can’t blame my doctor..the first thing he did was print out several pages of exercises..which I didn’t do. And schedule physical therapy but took forever to get in!

[@pinaypie83]

My husband has worn out hip and doctor told him his cartilage is very thin. He didn’t talk but 5 mins. He just said my husband needs steroid shot and then surgery down the road. I have been gathering information and I am so glad I found this video! Can’t thank you enough!

Reading through the comments I had no idea how many people suffer with hip pain. I have the most excruciating pain in my right hip, groin, front of leg. But Xray shows severe osteoarthritis with bones grinding in left hip, not the right. Very disabling and depressing condition but I see I'm not alone in this.....

[@JeffreyPengMD]

You're definitely not alone!

[@yubantwo2086]

How amazing that the side you experience the more severe pain, is not the side indicated in your x-rays. What I am learning from tremendous online sources like this one is that the nervous system, muscles, and tendons are what MOVE our bones. Muscle pain is the result in muscle atrophy but also muscle imbalance (tight muscles taking up the slack forweak muscles. Our pelvic tilts, rotation etc, are root causes. I have a condition called NICO that began in my jaw and spread through the neuropathways to my hips. The body is a magnificent and often misunderstood system of inter-relatedness. The majority of medical professionals are trained to look at parts and not the whole...

[@tinarossetti3939]

@@yubantwo2086 Our bodies are amazing structures that we really do not understand, not even our doctors know all that there is to know. Since my original post, I now have severe pain in my arms, wrists and hands.... I have never in my life suffered the pain that I have gone through in the last 4 months. To make it worse, I'm unable to sleep with the pain. The new diagnosis for the top part of my body is Poly Myalgia but blood test need to confirm this, I'm having them today. I can't rely on doctors any longer and like you need to do my own research. I think much of my pain is stress related. And I wouldn't be surprised if 5g is another contributing factor. Our bodies aren't designed to be exposed to emf at the high levels and there must be a consequence to it... I wish you well and hope we're able to find a renewed healthier body soon 💚

[@Fixate92]

Same left hip is bone on bone I can hear popping sound every move I make.. Osteoarthritis has been determined and telling me only option 4 me is hip replacement which is scary because I also have MS.. I feel so defeated the pain is excruciating & debilitating

[@yubantwo2086]

@tinarossetti3939 I've just now been sent this reply that you wrote a month ago. I do hope you are on the road to recovery. Recently, I was advised to have a tooth extracted to facilitate healing in my jaw. I was apprehensive because I'd had this problem before an impacted wisdom tooth, which moved to the next tooth. I reluctantly agreed. The extraction could have been dangerous, but all went well... until days later, when the pain & ear ache returned. Long story a bit less long I finally discovered (thanks to a nurse cousin who armed me with medical terms to insist be investigated) that the problem is the nerve in my jaw which was damaged from over 20 years of dentist induced injuries, has spread from my jaw throughout the neurological pathways to other parts of my body. It's a mess & right now, I am on a three month "green" antibiotic course to effect a healing. I pray not to allow myself to wallow in anger toward the plethora of dentists who caused the damage and those who dismissed what their colleagues had done who blew me off telling me that my pain was all in my head. Wishing you discovery and healing.

[@spicencens7725]

This has to be the most enlightening video yet on options for hip osteoarthritis! About 8 mos ago I started with this pain. I'll just suck it up & it'll go away...not. Long story short I was sent to a surgeon; with 2 options: steroid shot or hip replacement! Not in my play book! It's good to know of the visco supp. & the PRP injection! Now I have the direction I knew was out there, but didn't know what it would be!!!

[@ilovetotri23]

My right hip has been blindingly painful. I finally got my PCP to refer me to Ortho. Ortho immediately stated I needed a hip replacement, but I needed to get my BMI lower. In the mean time, ortho ordered a steroid injection. I can not even begin to describe how my world has changed! I know it is not "the answer", but it is giving a small chance to get to the right one. I was very appreciative of the Ortho Dr saying that they would advocate for me with my newish, young PCP. They said that if I thought my PCP was smart I should stick with them. Let them (ortho) advocate for the next step.

There is a guy on KZbin who said he had an excruciating hip pain and that he was in line for a hip replacement. He said on one of his videos that he has his hip joints x-rays to prove it which he left for people to see within the description of the video. He said I ignored the hip replacement surgery and went on a regime which included exercises. I also avoided all carps and sugar eating vegetables and protein for three months in addition to some supplements.

Love the chart, it helps me understand possible treatments. However can you clarify, long term, short term? 6 months, 1 year, 5 years?

[@Ve-suvius]

Great info. I really have to watch my hips, and the left one particular. I've done too much heavy Squats, Bulgarian Split Squats and Stiff Legged Deadlifts in the past. Heavy weights might be cool to build some strength. But the joints aren't that keen on dealing with heavy weights on a continuous basis. I'm now looking for safer ways to keep the leg muscles relatively strong , functional. Like static squats, bodyweight only. Like the Sumo Wrestler do. edit: I notice now that a high wall sit, and a sumo squat static hold, is the way to go for me, regarding the quadriceps . Those one legged exercises, even with bodyweight only gives me hip pain. Especially in the left hip. I got to play it smart= safe . Working the muscles without aggravating the joint.

[@JeffreyPengMD]

Yes, in general, lighter weights more reps are easier on the joints but still effective in maintaining / building muscle strength

[@Ve-suvius]

@@JeffreyPengMD Thank you 👍 I also read about it. That even 30% of a 1 rep max can build quite some muscles mass. Without the joints being smooth, life gets less pleaserable for sure. If I knew what I know now. But this internet wasn't that much a thing in 2000 and before.

[@bd_bsl5707]

I'm in exactly same boat, your suggestions are precious, but first I have to cure edema, ie bleeding and swelling in my right hip before I can put even body weight load on that right hip, that is what the doctor says

[@Ve-suvius]

@@bd_bsl5707 Did you have an accident? The one legged exercises I still do. Bodyweight only. No weights. The wall sit gave me too much pressure on the knee joints/caps. You have to adjust and readjust until you find what works for you. And that might be only for the time being. It might be, that in the future you have to change exercises and/or weights again. This I found out.

Whenever a PA or doctor tells me what they plan to do going forward, I always investigate the pros & cons on my own, 1st. I am 67, have Osteopenia & certainly don't want to make it worse. I just recently found I have arthritis in my hip. PA just does what my Medicare Disadvantage plan wants him to do. When you have to rely on western medicine only & cheap insurance, you don't get the proper care you really need. Insurance companies like to delay and deny. It just makes the physical pain you have worse. So much stress. Our healthcare in the US stinks.

Excellent video! While an MRI exam established a degradation of the cartilage in the hip joint, there is still some cartilage left. So I am far from hip replacement. Pressing on my hip joins does not hurt and neither does weight lifting. But I often feel pain while citing or driving the car. I do get periodic and persistent pains at different parts of my inner thigh and pelvis. The focal spot of my pain migrates once every couple of months to a different spot along my inner thigh and groin. My biggest problem is mild but persistent pain at night that wakes me up. I also have some buzzing sensation in my groin that creates a desire to frequently urinate. In the past I had intestinal surgeries such as hernia repair in my groin. So perhaps some scarring tissue impacts my nerves. Many of my symptoms seem to stem from a nerve compression, but perhaps I do have arthritis. I wonder how to diagnose and treat the root of my problems (i.e. arthritis, or compressed nerves).

I know this is good advice for most people but it leaves me feeling confused. I’m doing everything right yet here I am. I am considering PRP. I’d love a video that is made to give advice to healthy athletes who are suffering from arthritis. A friend of mine (personal trainer) is going through the same thing but all videos seem to talk about like it’s not something that happens to active people when the advice is “get active”. I know that’s not the intent but wanted to put it out there. I guess that just leaves options like PRP for people like us?

[@JeffreyPengMD]

High level athletes (ie. pros, olympic levels, etc) have VERY high rates of osteoarthritis. And that's because of the wear and tear and "pushing through pain" that is causing more damage. PRP is an excellent option for high level athletes that want to continue to stay active. A rehab program is just as important to make sure you body can withstand the loads you are putting through it. Good luck!

I think more people would be interested in PRP injections if insurance paid for it; or the cost was not so high. Unless you have the money to pay for it yourself; most patients are left with options like steroid injections even though they might choose something else if they didn't have to worry about money. I very much agree with multi-modalities, but for many it is not always possible.

I started doing some of the recommended stretches but it has made things 10 times worse. I now cannot drive my car or sit at all without feeling agonising burning/irritation which only decreases after I lay down for hours. I realise now that I may have overdone the stretching/strengthening exercises in the first week post injury but there was no great fall/accident to indicate crippling injury was on its way. Xray says I have hip degeneration/narrowing and likely OA. When you google acute hip injury or how to treat bone on bone acute hip injury/flare etc. no one is talking about an acute situation on YT. It appears to be just long-term suffering and potential solutions/treatment plans. I would imagine I'm not the only one out there who is in this window (just injured in last few weeks etc.) of injury with subsequent imaging indicating arthritic changes, so could you please provide some assistance as to how best to treat an acute injury like mine. Also, when and how to know when it is time to transition into an arthritis/FAI treatment program? Treatment summary: Mistake No.1 - Stretching/ROM exercises Mistake No.2 - Warm epsom salt baths (felt so good initially and I could do full ROM afterwards but then a world of pain and stiffness. Mistake No.3 - Driving/sitting in spite of increasing pain/irritation (this was a HUGE mistake!) Massaging - short term relief. NSAI's and lying around in bed all day - So far this is the only thing that is keeping me sane.

Can i take meloxican for my hip pain 😢

[@mayacordalia]

My pain increases when I exercise. In the hip especially. Even if I reduce the amount of exercising activity.

[@JeffreyPengMD]

Best you discuss with your healthcare provider about your individual situation. In some cases, we use injections (ie. PRP, hyaluronic acid, etc) to help calm down the arthritis symptoms to allow patients to exercise more.

I was very fit and flexible, then I developed a slight limp in my right leg. Have had back issues B4, but fixed that with exercises. Went to physio, he suggested exercises and use a cane. Worse thing I ever did, because I have became reliant on aides. Now I use a walker😭 Specialist said I have tight hips, how did this happen, when I was very active? I do exercises with a stretch band, and was doing hydro therapy, but the pool was dangerous to get in and out😢 Please help me. I'm 68, and was active up to 3 years ago😢My legs are weak, and I can't walk on my own😢 I've read by being flexible, doing splits, touching toes ect can cause tight hips, I've done all this, all of my life, from a very young age. I even did ti Bo .

Man I’m 31 and I’m scared too bro I am being sent to pain management for injections but I’ve been hearing from people who done it on Reddit saying it was there worst decision and ended up getting hip replacement anyways when they should have done it from the beginning 🤦‍♂️ idk to be honest I’ve been waiting for the visit already

[@TruthAboveAll08]

Hi Abbey, I feel for you. For nearly 2 years I've been dealing with a series of issues with my left leg due to long COVID. Some reports showed last fall that it will attack the musculoskeletal system, which confirmed my own determination. After my right leg having to pick up a lot of the weight bearing function I started having pain in my right hip about 4 months ago. An xray showed absolutely no arthritis in my left hip, but my right is bone-on-bone and shot. The left leg had so many issues my orthopedic surgeon thought it best to finish treatments there before doing anything with the hip. That was about 3 months ago now, and the pain has gotten steadily worse. Until about a week or so ago. I've found a few PT channels and started looking for exercises and treatments to avoid hip surgery. There are several. I've got several I've tried, and found one so far that was specifically helpful. The hip joint is one thing. I also have deep pain in the front of my thigh just below the groin, and pain in the rear and up into my buttock. My right knee is starting to be unstable a d painful as well. Besides finding exercises can stand and that have descriptions that indicate they should be helpful, I got a Recommendation to try TheraWorks, a rub in foam. I also bought a massage gun, which I use on the hip pointer, along my thigh muscles and around my knee. One good trick is to use the gun, rub in the TheraWorks then kick back in my recliner with my heating pad covering as much of the affected areas as possible. Stairs are still mostly off my schedule. Other than a bit of a setback today it's showing some promise. Just keep looking for things that will work! Saying a prayer for you!

[@intensivemanagement]

How are you doing these days? Any hip relief ?

[@dennistyler9852]

⁠@@TruthAboveAll08How are you today 10 months later. I use ice on my quads on my left leg as well as my groin area. I’ll stretch my groin and massage my thigh before getting out of the car. Sitting upright is my worst. Thankfully laying down and resting in my recliner I’m good. My walks are short but I do them most days. I’ll use two canes on my walks/hikes but only one walking to stores. Both my hips are bad and before I decide on hip surgery, I’ll Need to increase my rom as well. Thinking about applying for SSDI to focus on my rom, flexibility and strength. Definitely focus on the glutes to balance the thigh/quads. All the best to you…

@@JeffreyPengMD thank you. I am a soon to be 72 year old ( birthday next Monday) recently diagnosed with OA after right hip locked up after sleeping in a chair for 6 nights next to husbands hospital bed. Otherwise healthy. Walk 4 miles a day, attend yoga classes twice a week, on zero meds till the OA diagnosis and now was told meloxicam for 30 days then steroid injection inti right hip next week. I wish I had a doctor line you here in Texas! I am sure there are some and thinking of trying to find another doctor that understands a less invasive approach. I am one week into the melixicam (could walk after 3 days on the med w/o hip locking up). Soooo I want to skip the injestion for now and try just meloxicam, appropriate exercise, drinking lots of water and seeing if this works for me. I have Medicare ( which seems to rule the roost and a plan g supplement that pays everything Medicare does not pay. Do you think my plan is reasonable and I should search for another doctor here in Texas that favors a less invasive approach at this point in time. Maybe even laying iff the walking and finding another firm if exercise may help. Please respond with your thoughts as I am ready to cancel my injection scheduled for next week.

Has anyone here had any experience of the steroid injection treatment? Looking at the long-term potential risks laid out in this video i'm starting to have doubts...anyone have any direct experience with this procedure?

PT has already started to help so so much. I could have never even gotten to PT without intervention, so for me the steroid injection will hopefully be a good decision.
