Replacement would be next that's what I had

Hi Eric, my husband has been suffering from hip pain in his left hip, for a long while, since June 2023. He's 71 years old. It has been cutting into his ability to walk, same as you.

We finally went to his primary care doctor, and she had some x-rays taken of left hip and they showed severe arthritis in the joint, as well as the cushioning between the joint and socket has been pretty much worn away. His tremors started on his left side as well. He scheduled an appointment with an Orthopedic doctor after the x-rays, she examined him & recommended a corticosteroid injection to help with the pain. She gave one to him in the left hip joint area using ultrasound to guide her placement of the injection. It's seems to be helping, because he's not taking Advil all the time. The Orthopedic doctor said that he can get another injection in April.

I hope that this is helpful to you.

LesWilliams2,
How difficult was having a hip replacement done & how difficult was it to recover from?

Go to an orthopedist.
