Q: My daughter is 55 has pain in her hip when rising from sitting . Walking is not painful. She has had knee problems her knee came out of position, inherited flat feet Does she need hip replacement?
Hello, Jo,
I am 57 and I have knee OA, hip displasia w/torn hip cartilage and possibly RA. I strongly suggest your daughter see an orthodpedic surgeion who can order xrays, MRI's, etc to determine exactly what is going on. I have something called iliotibial band syndrome. It is very painful, but it is not a "bone on bone" hip issue. It does make it difficult for me to get up and move after sitting for a while. There are al ot of things that can wrong in hips and knees. Seeing an orthopedic doctor for treatment is your best option.
Best Wishes,
V
