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.

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!

I need this doctor!!! Thank you for this video. Very informative 👏🏽

[spicencens]

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!!!

[amandamartin]

Thank you Dr. Peng for this this most comprehensive breakdown of the different treatment modalities for hip arthritis. I am just at the diagnostic stage although I believe my case is advanced but this information will make me a better informed patient and that is extremely important to me.

[dalevoelker]

I appreciate all of the information, which covers a lot, and seems well balanced.

[rltidd]

Are there any treatments for someone who no longer has any cartilage in the hip socket? I am looking at replacement now. Thanks for what you do with your channel.

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

[cyndykated]

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 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.
