For anyone here for hip pain - I take opioids for lupus and it didn't touch the hip pain (I'm talking about the type when you lay on your side or when you sit on the bottom part). Then my doctor prescribed lidocaine 5% patches. It's been a life saver. I can go all night and sleep well because the pain has gone from an 8 to a 2. Please, talk to your doctor about the lidocaine patch. The over the counter one is 4% and doesn't help me. The prescription one really does. I hope this helps someone.

Eight weeks out from total hip replacement anterior approach. I am still amazed every day at how well I'm doing. Walking 3 miles a day. Gardening, with a few minor range of motion limitations that I'm working on with stretching exercises. Truly a life changer for me🙂

It's refreshing to know there are surgeons who want to help you correct problems before surgery becomes necessary. Thank you.

I had total hip replacement of both hips. The results were wonderful. I got my life back. Prior to surgery, I could hardly walk, the pain was so bad, It was pretty debilitating for two years and got worse as time went by. I tried the OTC pain killers and topical, none of it helping. When I finally went to the orthopedist, he showed me the X-ray and said my hips were crumbling. I had my hip replacements 3 months apart, as that was recommended. I'm now 10 months out on the first hip replacement and 7 months out on the second. Hip replacement is miraculous and I would highly recommend it if needed.

Alright you two. I need to hear this! Three surgeons told me “You have a bad hip” -and my discomfort & immobility confirmed it: THR. So I did. 2021. Thank GOD for THR. Got my life back. I mean, I’m not running (in my 40s I ran 3-6 mi/day). Or hiking. But I’m not in It was an 11 on a scale 1-10. I’ll stay tuned for the vid. Thank you ❤

You two Docs are AWESOME. Thank you for all you do!!

Enjoy the bantering back and forth and sensible information. Thanks!

I had hip replacement about 5 years ago. Woke up after surgery with the worst pain in my life. The gave me deluded and sent me home the next day. Quit a bit if pain for awhile, moved to a cane for a month or so. After that I never felt better. I have arthritis in both shoulders but learned to deal with it. My GP says it takes a year in recovery and no promises. You guys are the best!

[tarapaul]

Orthotics do work! It was a miracle for me.

[cherylfankhauser]

Tried all of that also lost lots of weight. Still didn't work and now have 2 new ceramics . I'm working on saving my knees now!

[jeanschricker]

A video about SI joint arthritis would be great😊

[ElaIEO]

Great advice on shoe lift. Had to work that out myself about 2 years ago. Good hip side became lots shorter & gave me crippling lower back pain. I build this side up with shoe inserts. Works magic.

[GreggBB]

I've had both my hips replaced. Amazing difference. Thanks for all the information, that is a lot of stuff a person can try!

[MayraYPerez]

As managing the condition for quite a while: DOCS are RIGHT!!
In my case weight control and exercise are the best ones!

My approach is completely different. At age 56, the physiotherapist told me that I would need a prosthesis fairly quickly due to arthritis. An X- ray photo showed 'light wear and tear' in my left hip, and the left leg turned outwards. Instead of waiting for that, I cautiously started running. This has been further intensified, my lifestyle has been adjusted and I am now 62, I run interval training - on trails or off grid- almost every day, live on the floor, sleep on the floor... and I never notice anything about my hip anymore! I worked hard on flexibility exercises, and my left leg is now pretty much straight, and I also do callisthenics... I only wear barefoot shoes and this is also helping me feel more mobile and strong. Sometimes just making your own plan is best!

My friend’s mom had knee replacement years ago, but later found out the pain was actually her hip. She did have her hip replaced & it made a huge difference.

I really like all the videos from Talking with docs. However don't expect these remedies to put off a hip replacement, if you are in difficulty. I have had both hips replaced, one at 49 and the other eight years later. My right hip was disintegrated. I walked with a pronounced limp and could only walk 200 meters. I wasn't in much pain but there was no range of motion. Nothing is going to reverse arthritis damage. I was pretty athletic up to that point and not overweight. University track and field, cycling, badminton, skiing etc. I do like ice cream and chocolate though. The hip replacement took some time to heal but made a huge difference in my quality of life.

[Jenzabel]

Getting ready to have a total hip replacement on Tuesday the 27th. I’m excited and looking forward to it ! Had bilateral knee replacements in 2018. This has been a long road!

Thanks for making this video. Very informative. I've had 2 separate orthopedic doctors tell me that I need hip replacement. I've had a steroid injection that lasted 2 weeks and cost a small fortune. I'm currently in physical therapy working on strengthening and rom. I've been prescribed meloxican with no relief. I'm going to start water therapy in a few weeks. I have a question for you. Ive beetold that doctors won't approve me for surgery until i reach a certain bmi. Im really at my wits end because the pain is so intense and i have no relief. Ive fallen because my leg gives out. Im now having to use a cane. What's a person to do in this situation?11:23

I was 35 when I had my left total hip replacement. I had avascular necrosis. I have Crohn's disease and I thought my lower part of my stomach was where my pain was coming from but they figured out it was avascular necrosis and was already a stage 4. After that surgery about a year later I was still having trouble lifting my leg then they went in and did a release of the iliopsoas tendon. Then about five years later I started having pain in my leg again and they replaced my stent with a longer one and then I had a hematoma after that procedure. I appreciate you doctors and all of your knowledge and sharing it. Good evening from Lone Grove Oklahoma my friends!
