Osteoarthritis in the Hips

Gregory Kaplan, Physical Therapist with West Kendall Baptist Hospital, says osteoarthritis in the hips is not as common as it is in the knees and the hands. Some of its symptoms are inflammation in the hip joint and also in the lower back or spine, and narrowing of the space within the joints.

He explains the body has a great way of continuing to adapt so you can still perform the movement, but it may be not in the right way. He recommends paying attention to your body and noticing when changes are occurring.

I was diagnosed with this. Had injections which did he. But the best for me was to change my diet and deal with the inflammation. Keto was brilliant. Inflammation is gone, health is way better, weight is down and more energy and practically zero pain. Especially what I was like. It took some time to get there, but if you keep persevering, it will change. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it and make the right changes. It's worked for me.

I have it in both hips, neck, fingers, ankles, kners, and spine, and it seems to make my spine, thighs, legs, and groin pain feel worse. I've got injections, went to PT, and been on different meds, and it's not getting any better for me if I don't at least do some form of strengthen exercise. I learn to cope with it by massages, hot and cold therapy, and a few spine and hip exercises, which seem to take the pressure and edge off during the day. If I don't do that, my pain is unbearable.

I think it means that your diet & physical activity are both very important so, research foods that can make arthritis better or worse. Also, research food. herbs & supplements that heal and prevent inflammation & encourages healing.
Don't sit all day and be aware of what movements cause pain. This may change from time to time as you get better or worse or even if you sleep in an uncomfortable bed.
Don't count on doctors to tell you all the do's and don'ts (they won't admit that they weren't taught all that) for any condition.
