Thanks Matt, great insights, as always. At age 30 after experiencing hip and low back pain I was diagnosed with hip joint dysplasia, Coxa Valga, where 'ball and socket' connect at a less than perfect angle, causing one-sided wear and tear on bone surfaces within the joint. Doc said I had the hip degeneration of an over-seventy-year-old. Now I AM an over-seventy-year-old! Thanks to very moderate exercise over 40 yrs (a bit of yoga, a bit of pilates, regular walking, lately a few 'upright health' stretches too ;) I now have MUCH LESS discomfort than at age 30.

I have had one hip replacement already. Now the other hip is causing a problem. I can't walk much at all without a walker. Same as last time. My doctor thinks it is my back. Went today for a MRI on my back. My back does ache bad. I do not have a lot of pain in the hip but can not function...walk, put on socks and shoes 10:17 have trouble getting in and out of car, sleeping is a problem but not being able to walk is really depressing.

Hi Matt, wrote to you before on your "Asian Squat" video. I am 68 years old and am the wife of Sander Rosenberg, who co-authored the 1978 water exercise book for arthritics and chronic pain sufferers called, "Pain-Free Arthritis". (Dvera Berson and Sander Roy). Sander wrote in 1978 that surgery for any chronic pain should be THE LAST RESORT!! He also was one of the first, if not THE FIRST to write about how x-rays can look "bad" and there could be no pain and x-rays could look not so bad and someone could have a lot of pain. My husband wrote that it was MUSCLES that were the culprits of chronic pain. (Unless a tumor or something else was pressing on a nerve.) Like you, I have experienced many aches and pains as I became a valet at age 42 and worked for over 20 years. And every ache I had was relieved with stretching. I find that crossing your legs when touching your toes, relieved my hip pain that I used to have. We call it muscle imbalances, muscle weakness and muscle tightness. Before every water exercise in our book, Sander states, "to relax, stretch and strengthen, the tense, tight and weak muscles surrounding your shoulder joint, etc. BTW, I have been working on the squat. Years ago getting into it, by holding on to a bar by a pool, helped me overcome an ankle problem that I had for two years!! I still cannot get down without holding on to something. It is hard for me to hold the position for longer than three minutes, that is why I still cannot do it without holding something. BTW, our book was recommended in a medical journal in Great Britain called, Rheumatology And Rehabilitation. Even though it was recommended by many others the status quo never changed as arthritis and chronic pain are still multi billion dollar businesses for the drug companies and orthopedic surgeons.

Your methods have definitely made me reconsider seeing a surgeon. I’m going to give it a year of doing exercises.

I'm a trauma RN...I'm very surprised that these surgeons are not considering the consequences of not doing surgery. As we know, the body, muscles, will compensate over time creating more problems. And necrotizing vasculitis? What about the squalae of that? Instead of considering the whole picture, they're just worried about their surgery.

Have been teaching yoga now for over 25 years. This gentleman is truly special in his approach to a self responsible approach. My experience is that few people are willing to adopt a regular dedicated practice. The few that do, experience a life virtually free of pain, and have great mobility. Thank you for your truly caring instruction to those who do not want or can't do yoga.

First things first - LOVE the channel and everything that you do at Upright Health.Are you able to provide more on options for people with AVN? I've living with this and arthritis for the past 3 years ( currently in stage 4 ) and have only been given the option for surgery when I am no longer mobile. Since i'm so physically active ( yoga , martial arts, light lifting ) I feel as though im prolonging the use of my hip through healthy lifestyle. Can you also elaborate on how physical activity subsides AVN pain ?

I had a hip replacement due to excruciating pain and disability to raise my foot. I was asked my my internist if I felt it was absolutely necessary. IF I'd been offered a solution I would've taken it as now I can't ride a horse do baseboards and have lost much muscle on that side. Now the other side is giving me problems 6 years later. I won't replace another hip, knee, NOTHING!!! I'm doing your prescribed exercises, more plant based eating and I'm keeping what I've got from here on!!!

Thank you for a thoughtful video. I have been blessed with a surgeon who replaced both my hips, nearly ten years between successes, and who was concerned about both pain and function. I think the decision should be up to the well informed patient if the bone damage and loss of function is as severe as you describe, even without pain. We should be able to choose surgery to improve our quality of life as well as to end pain.

Hi guys, I have hip pain (sharp pain in one point) that I can stop if I move my knee out of my body like butterfly pose. I was thinking that probably the problem comes from my capsule (ILF ligament). Can it be possible? Anyone can help me? Any advice? Many thanks!!

Hi Matt, my son had avascular necrosis in both of his hips at age 33. It took the Dr.s over a year to find out what the problem was, because he kept complaining about his back. Finally, a Dr. at UVA told him it was probably not his back, but his hips. Sure enough, that's what it was. He's had both hips replaced, and is doing much better. He was almost wheelchair bound, before. I'm grateful that he is better, and able to function almost normally, but still worry that these artificial ones will wear out long before he becomes a senior citizen.

I've been diagnosed with severe hip osteoarthritis and have had hip pain and lost of range of motion for almost a year. Been doing PT, and stretching, going 2nd round, convincing myself that I can train the muscles around my hip. However, my pain and mobilty is just getting worst, so I have to give in and consider the surgery. I got an appt. next Friday for a 2nd opinion.

Matt, I like this issue of hip problem as it mirrors mine. I was diagnosed with bone on bone problem which showed on my MRI. Although described as such, the term they used is lumbar radiculopathy. Am not quite aware of these terms but it gives me unbearable pains that I don't want to move out from my computer chair anymore. Before I saw your videos, I used to follow chair exercises of the legs and arms just so I can be limber. My hip pain is really excruciating especially when I do my bathroom necessities plus bathing. When I stand in from of the sink to brush my teeth, I feel my left knee buckling down if my stance is awkward. Am afraid of hip replacement as I've encountered 2 close friends who did that but had terrible complaints after the surgery i.e., pain is still there and another's was not properly set. Oh God, that's terrible! Right now am getting therapy where the PT applies electric stimulation plus deep tissue massage afterwards. But it doesn't alleviate my painful situation. I've been prescribed Gabapentin 100 MG 3x/day, though am not epileptic (but I think the meds calm the nerves) but not in my case. The pain is unbearable while standing or walking, even for a short distance. What exercises can you advise other than surgery? I'm really miserable I don't want to go out of the house anymore. Even climbing the bed is a hassle for me. SOS please!

Having one leg shorter and compensating for it would surely bring more pain eventually as well as causing other damage. Great video!

Thank You So Much for Such Great Videos ... They are Very Helpful ! I had my hip fractured when I was 10 years old and I'm 60 now and they want to do a hip replacement. I'm so stiff ... trying to get more flexible 🙏🙏💪💪💞💞

YOUR right.Drs don't care of FUNCTION.just Money.had double hip surgery.was told need left hip and knee replacement.along with back.after the double.said NO MORE.due to wonderful PT.people.ive gone from wheelchair to walking with crutches.learning to walk with cane.as muscles get re;built.and signals to feet and body return.Thank The LORD Jesus.for extra strength given.but I'd choose muscles being stronger than surgeries.thats why I appreciate your clips.and telling people to strengthen the muscles.

I totally get your point of illustration that the hip doesn't always hurt bc of a bone problem. But it is just a matter of time before it starts hurting in her hip as you mentioned her back is hurting already. The domino effect will happen if not stoped by some means.

I think the surgeons mentioned in this video are probably in the minority (not wanting to perform replacement surgery due to lack of pain).

Matt I have had a limp for 3 years. Problem is my left hip. I have NO pain. I am unable to put on a sock when I sit down. I can get my left foot on my right knee but have no ability to lean forward to reach my foot. Xrays of hip and LS spine normal. MRI showed a bone spur on either side. Dr. Could not believe I was not having pain. All three ortho doc would not touch me! They all said I am not a candidate for surgery because I did not have pain. Told me to continue PT, massage and chiropractor. All I have been doing for two years straight. It is so distressing to not have function! I literally am thinking of lying and saying I have hip pain so I can get the surgery. The struggle is real and so unnecessary. Going to see my 4 th orthopedic doctor Monday.

I am 53 and going through treatment for AVN and it came out of nowhere. I also have arthritis in my lower lumbar region. The constant interplay between the hip joint and the back is frustrating. After a year of NSAID's and Fosamax, I have shown bone growth at the femoral head, and I feel much less pain, but it is far from recovered. I can ride my mountain bike aggressively, but standing for durations, running, and walks over 1/2 mile are tough. My psoas fires up when the hip gets fatigued. The joint was not in collapse, so I am glad I was in pain and went to get it checked out. I have really worked on my core strength and lost some weight. I really hoping to keep trending positive, but feel the Orthopod is going to say this is as good as it gets. I can't stay on the meds forever, and I was told I could have another AVN event when off of them. I have been able to cut the anti-inflammatory dose to once per day, so that is positive.

Wow. That's exactly what I had! My hip didn't hurt either but I did have terrible leg pain, foot pain and thigh pain including awful foot cramps. My hip would slip and didn't hold my weight. No back pain. The hip was a pulpy necrotic mess. The replacement gave me pain-free full range of motion....once I reconditioned the muscles.

I would do the exercises anyways. You can never go wrong with stretching, yoga, pilates, etc.

Mr. Matt I have been doing some of the stretches you recommend on your videos for my sharp hip pain on my left leg when I go bowling. I notice a big improvments when I do the stretches before I do anything and I do feel better after the stretches. So I thank you very much for your videos you put out.

I thought a surgeon operated to restore quality of life when everything else failed.

Thank you. I was told to get the surgery. The doctor did not tell me much. Just get surgery. They make lots of money. Thanks for your clear advice

Hi, My case is quite similar ... & I am struggling with this issue since quite a few years but past two years it is effecting my daily life & I don’t have real pain around the hip but more of referred symptoms lower back & I don’t properly sit on the hip which has problem as a result constant lower back pain. As I don’t have real pain in the hip drs are confused to go ahead with surgery and it even confuses me . I am generally very active person as had been doing advanced yoga since years and know my body well, now I am at a point where it’s effecting my work as I can’t sit at one place for long I mostly slouch and sit partially sitting on my lower back & walking where in used to walk ten kilometres easily now I fear going to lot of places ... is there anywhere I could share my xrays with you . Would be really thank ful and share more in details my symptoms .. I am 50 year old .. not only drs get confused I myself get confused in hope to get better life I may not lose what I have , as per say all drs I don’t have direct symptoms of hip replacement . But coz my body has been compensating for years my knees are getting bad , pelvic gets unaligned .. ps I would be really thankful if anywhere I could reach out and share my X-ray and symptoms in detail point by point recap .. Thanks

I really enjoyed your info. I was told I needed hip replacement in 2013. I have done everything I can to avoid it as I deem surgery as an unnecessary trauma on the body. I worked with a naturopath doc who put me on a big cleanse where I have uncovered some digestive issues. I have changed my diet to include high levels of collagen found in Ham hocks. Sounds weird but my body health has improved. During the time of my healing I didn’t move much and that has affected me. I knew I need to exercise but dint know what to do. I have registered with your office and will be in touch soon. I think the lack of exercise affected my fascia and Bowen therapy is really helping a lot. My leg is shorter on the side I was told I needed the hip operation. I was also a vegan and a vegetarian for quite a few years and I think this affected my bones.I feel very good now and just want to get back to full body motion so I can ride my horses.

My experience, most strain and pain falls onto the lumbar facets & SI joints with "end stage osteoarthritis, 0 rotation, hip. Facet joint peripheral nerve oblations ended nagging and debilitating pain. Replacement would appear in order, to fix leg lengths, and increase ROM, but hospital group BMI restrictions with surgeons delay 2020 date along with pandemic, so counter productive. Right hip has a acute tendinitis, more painful that "shot" hip. Go figure.

That blows my mind. I’m 65 now and a life long athlete. Always had some hip pain on the left side and attributed that to running hurdles in high school. After a 20 year soccer career and my last knee surgery ( where my doctor refused to fix my ACL) his advise to me was to quit running. Cycling became my new main fitness activity. That was all fine until my daughter asked me to run a 5K with her earlier this year. We are running 3 days a week now and loving it. We’ve been building up slowly and your videos have been a staple. My left hip pain was back with a vengeance though but with your ATM as my first line of treatment and training it is getting better every week Those flexors that didn’t get the proper attention on a bike are steadily getting back into shape and I’m continuing to build strength and increase mobility. Thank you so much for your help. Looking forward to many more years of activity with kids and grandkids. ps.. using Asian squats while gardening and every chance I get as part of the wellness routine as well. 😉👍

Hi Matt... I've been diagnosed with bilateral AVN, stage 3 in the right hip (a lot of pain) and stage 2 in the left hip (no pain). Some doctors have recommended hip replacement for right hip and core decompression on the left hip. Some have recommended core decompression on both. Can this be treated without surgery? The probable cause of AVN is steroid use during Covid. I'm 43 years old male.

Always, always go to at least 1 academic medical center and seek multiple assessments and recommendations for surgical cases. Then assess the information and make a rational decision. I say this as a faculty member at such a medical center.

After 2 yrs of pain, loss of range of motion and not knowing exactly what’s going on, I made an appointment to get checked out. I have a collapsed hip. One of my legs is 2inch shorter the left. I can’t stand up for more than 30 mins without hurting, hard time tying my left shoe, can’t work jobs that require constant standing or walking excessively. After the looked at my xray they said the only way to fix it is hip replacement. I think I might have the same thing you were describing with the lady. I’ve limped for 2 yrs and walk like I’m 100 sometimes after I’ve been on my feet to long. I’m 49 and nervous about this procedure, but want my quality of life back. I’m supposed to have it done next month, hope made right decision. Interested in any feedback. Thanks

I am advised by my doctor that i have to undergo hip replacement surgery as it AVN stage 4.....i am hesitant to go ahead with my surgery .....i just had my bone marrow procedure done on my hips a month ago......i really have close 2 inches shorter in my right leg than my left leg...i wanted to know if i have to undergo hip replacement surgery.....i have SLE AND RA and my Bone Marrow results are within Normal limits

I've been doing lots of stretches and strengthening for my stage 3 arthritis of both hips and bad back for many years now. Lately, supine pigeon stretch helped me loosen my hip joints noticeably and I even stopped limping on my left leg. Lie on the floor, grab your foot with your hands or wrap a belt around your foot and pull the foot toward your belly slowly several times. Rest and repeat. Do it with other stretches. You can add resistance later to strengthen hip muscles. Keep your obliques strong as well. Lose weight. It's a work, yes. But much better that having a surgery. Be well.

Ok. My case is a little different. I fell from cycling mishap and fractured a left hip. Was rushed out hospital and had 3 pins put into my hip. Two years ago. Now pain hasn’t gone away. I can’t negotiate stairs and am in a dilemma about getting the pins removed or should I get a complete hip replacement ? Can you help me decide? I’m a 74 male who previously was in good health for my age? Please don’t say…what does your doctor suggest because surgeons as you know are addicted to putting you under and operating. Any suggestions please?

Update: I went to the dr. I could not walk, get into a chair, or stand on one foot on my bad leg. I wear BFR bands when exercising. But my exercise is less than a third of what it was before the injury. I can’t stand on that leg because the ball and socket don’t align. I saw the X-rays before and compared them in to the ones I saw recently, it is night and day. Could see a space between the joints a few months ago. Now it is horrible. This happened when I re-injured my hip. In a few months it changed. So, I will need a hip replacement. My plan: to lose weight 33 lbs., strengthen my muscles. We found the glutes ok, but the gluteus medius and minimus are shot. I will get them up to par. Also, had a cortisone shot yesterday so after a while I will start my scorched earth plan of exercise. I will wait a few months then asses my hip for surgery. I want to do the 4K at Thanksgiving. Wish me luck!

I think any surgery should be avoided if possible because it is invasive and always carries dangers. People I know who have had hip problems speak of indescribable pain where you can't sit, lie down or get relief in any position. In these cases surgery is amazing and really does transform people's lives. Hip surgery seems to be one of the more successful types. If there's a non invasive solution evidently that is wholly preferable, otherwise thank goodness for the hip replacement option.

I have the same thing. . I have extremely limited mobility but sometime I have extreme pain. Especially is I've been doing a lot of walking and standing. My opperation is still 2 months away. Some times it felt like my leg is gonna snap off and I have terrible lime.

I'm not really asking for any help per say I'm just wanting someone to bounce ideas off of a sounding board like do birds ideas off of I was brought up to use pros and cons what's the different things I had to do in my life right now this is the biggest con I am dealing with so I tried to find people similar to mine that I can bounce ideas off of. Hope you don't mind my real name is Elizabeth Waters. Name I give with Mickey mouse is so I don't get hurt so much.

I went an had gastric sleeve surgery. To lose enough weight to get the hip surgery. I had lost almost 100lbs before surgery I don’t know if I did the right thing.

I'm with you in taking a practical approach. The surgeons that only repair the hip when therre was pain seemed to more likely be covering their behinds rather than addressing the base problem. If the hip is severely damaged then the possiblity of future pain and problems will always exist. Where as If the hip is replaced by a highly skilled surgeon, although there is a small risk of problems related to surgery, fixing the hip problem addresses all future problems. And if someone is of an advanced age where surgery itself involves risk as years progress then sooner the better.

I was on two crutches or a walker and today when I go grocery shopping I use a cart to lean on and at the end of the day after working I sometimes use a crutch albeit due to stretching alone I have 100 percent in my right leg and 30 percent in my left leg a surgeon said I needed hips. It is extremely painful but it’s getting better I have lower back knee groin and hip pain due to alignment and I crack my back many times everyday just by lying on the floor straightening out my legs I can crack my lower back several times per day! I do not use crutches unless I overextend myself and I can’t walk. This happens a few times a week because I am an extremely hard worker using my body to push pull and lift all day long! So by stretching and I have made up many of my own stretches I am able to walk without crutches and a not as bad limp until my third hour of working then the limp gets bad so hopefully in another year or two I hope to be 1000 percent in my left leg 🦵

I recently broke my right finger ball 🏀 say hi to remove it because I broke it in half write down the middle I have osteoporosis. They say removing the broken ball parts shouldn't take care of the pain going to see a pain doctor to see what else to do I cannot get hip replacement because of my osteoporosis because the bone will shatter I also have cerebral palsy generally I'm in a wheelchair Electric but right now I'm confined to bed which can be very boring

hi i have a question im at a stage 3 to 4 femoral head collapse can i have a non surgical procedure to get full mobilization

Interesting I'm going to have hip replacement as I have no cartilage in rt hip but I have no pain just sore back and loss of mobility Im going to try electric acupuncture to see if improvement before I get surgery

Very informative video, can a Nuerosergen do this surgery ? 😊

I'm surprised you were told not to move your hip joint because you had arthritis. My understanding is that exercising the arthritic joint is good for osteoarthritis.

This vid confirms what i have thought from the beginning of my hip problems. You better come into interview with surgeons or anyone in the medical field ready to advocate for yourself.

Crazy. I really can't believe those docs any more. Hilarious thinking of these surgeons! 🤣

If you don't restore function pain will show up then is too late

Hey I have mailed you and commented many times on your RU-vid videos for seeking help but I got no reply... I am still commenting again to get help from you... so here is my problem- I am 32 and have been diagnosed with AVN of HIP stage 2. Can you help me out? Will your excercises improve my condition? Please please please reply it’s been 1.5 years now that I have been diagnosed with this condition.

So if she had said that there was some pain then they would have done the op?!

Thanks Matt you have inspired me to join you in improving my osteoarthritis hip which I have restrictions with movement

I injured myself slowly over the years by doing a Romanian deadlift. My adductors are tight, particularly on my right leg which translated into a tight right hip. I noticed the other day that I really struggle (more like can't do it) to do a reverse clamshell so I lay on the floor and rest my right foot on the couch so that my heel is above my knee and I feel the stretch. I mentioned this because I was told that I have osteoarthritis in the right hip and the doctor mentioned in passing the idea of getting hip-surgery. I CAN walk it's just that after a 1/4 of a mile my lower right back gets stiff but I am doing a series of stretches in the hope that it gets better. After watching this video I have my doubts about getting surgery and will continue to do the stretches to see if I will get any positive results (reduction to elimination of lower back stiffness).

I had an appt with ortho that recommended hip replacement because of pain and arthritis in my right hip. However, my left hip with mild arthritis also hurts. To me, it all feels muscular, not what I would think as joint pain. They did tell me that they wouldn't do surgery if I didn't have pain. I found that interesting and confusing because my structure would be the same regardless of my pain level. I'm still dealing with the pain and it has severely limited and changed my life. I'm glad I found this video as it adds more evidence to support my feelings on replacement surgery.

You called her hippy lool think of another name like femi

Same thing is happening to me. 8 years with hip pain, BL OA getting worse. I have been diagnosed with protrusion, OA & a LLD. Doctor says: “It’s not that bad.”, “It’s not bad enough yet.” & “You’re too young.” I advocate for myself. Still nothing. I agree with Dr. Edwin Su. He said: “Quality of life is a lot like a dollar. Meaning; you rather have a dollar today than a dollar tomorrow. You’d rather good quality of life now than a year from now.”

Thank you! Disregard nonsense.

Hi, this is really facinating for me. I have had hip and lower pain problems since my mid twenties. This seems to be from a range of issues; one shorter leg, tight hamstrings and quite a curved lower spin (from back to front). I would get pressure on my lower spine and be careful to aviod disc bulging and pain around my sacrum joint. Eventually in my early 40s I was diagnosed with piriformis disorder. And I still think I have some stiffness in my SI joint. Now in my early 60s I have some hip arthritis in my longer leg side and hip spurs that may be on the outer edge of the joint. I am only get pain when I have walked too far or have been standing too long. To be honest its not as bad as the muscle pains I have had in the past when I havent been looking after my piriformis properly e.g good posture and the right kind of exercise. I am not sure about having a hip operation as I dont want it to make my other issues worse again and not be able to excercise and stretch in the way that helps all my hip muscles. I now swim regularly and this is helping everything feel better. What do you think about the risks of a hip operation making my other issues worse? Many Thanks Van

Hi Matt, My hip pain 1 Effect my sleep if i dont do exercise. If i dont exercises for the hip the night tightness will be worse. Pain is 2-3/10 but tightness of the muscles. Even if I do exercise (recomended by physio) the hip pain is also there but less. Applying heat oil is also good. 2 Not much range of motion problem if i warm up or do daily exercises. 3 Cannot play golf or badminton or run much. Pain of hip if i do. Mainly sleep problem. Level of pain is as describe above. 4 I brisk walk 3 times a week. But not too much the hip dont like it, so I do your hip joint exercises. So I walk only about 3km instead of 5km. Do I need a hip replacement?

Thanks for the video Matt. I am 26 just got diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right hip. I had an injury when i was 25 that I suspect led to this. I am really active, I am doing PT and PRP currently. I plan on getting back to jujitsu, kick boxing, and snowboarding once I have finished the PRP treatment. I stopped doing martial arts after getting diagnosed but my pain has gotten worse since then. Any reccomendations?

Thank you so much for sharing your personal experiences and having a channel that gives hope. . Also, I would advise people to consider PRP, or PRP with stem cells if their country allows it, and or Prolow infusions. These have proven to be restorative and give the bones and joints a chance to heal. God Bless!

I'm 62 yr old female dx'd w AVN rit hip. This was a God appointed post for me to listen to. Thank you for posting it and giving me a different perspective and thanks to "hippy" for sharing her story. Fact is stranger than fiction. Especially what will cause someone pain and what does not.

Hi Matt , I had pain in my right hip in 2020 and ended up being referred from specialist to specialist and ended up with a hip replacement. This was unfortunately before I discovered Upright Health . I have purchased your healthy hip’s program and things are going well. Do you advise any additional exercises or exercises to avoid on the replaced hip. Are there any exercises to prolong the life of the replacement. I think the way you advise people is tremendous by putting items on RU-vid . Because of your advise and exercises which are common sense I would definitely advise anyone else going down the surgical path. Thank you.

My daughter 7 got septic arthritis and osteomylitis in February. She was in unbearable pain. Doctors prescribed her antibiotics and she took them for 3 and a half months. Last month she got an xray done in which her left femoral head was collapsed completely but she hasnt been complaining of any pain. She is also walking with a slight limp and I feel she has got half inch leg discripancy. The orthopedic surgeon told us that she is asymptomatic and we cannot do anything for now till she turns 14 and the bone will remodel in that time. Then they would decide what to do. The doctor has advised us to get her into swimming and no extreme sports or other sports which involves giving pressure on her weight bearing bones. I am still confused what to do and how to go about it. A friend of mine also advised me to get her acupuncture treatment which can be helpful. Kindly advice me what should I do. I hope to hear from you soon. God bless

Hi. I am 39 with arthritis and virtually no cartilage in my left hip. I have had an arthroscopic surgery in 2019. I hurt every day! I try to strengthen the join the joint by a couple workouts a week and do some yoga here and there. I'm 5' 9" and 145 lbs. Should I get the joint replaced

Hi I’m 57 got diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips, no cartilage . Bone on bone . Very painful had to learn to walk again using my glutes . Pain not subsiding should I go for hip replacement as I can’t sleep or walk properly.

My wife has been told there’s degeneration of about 50% in her hip (I’m guessing it’s the ball joint/femor) she’s meeting with her doctor this week to look at MRI results. We were playing pickleball yesterday and she got a very sharp pain in her hip and couldn’t really walk. Tremendous pain when she put any weight on it. I’m sure hip replacement surgery will come up in the discussion with her doctor, but I’m hoping she can avoid it. Here’s my question, do you have any thoughts about Regenerxx, which believe is stem cell therapy?

I'm not sure what to think, I worry about my own mechanics I walk with a limp and my left foot points out I used to have terrible hip pain that I had to manage with ibuprofen , Went to physical therapy for about two months, I cut out inflammatory foods and now the pain is not as bad I'm hoping by following your youtube workout videos I can build strength in the left hip and leg And maybe the pain will go away total and the range of motion will come back

I've been on crutches for 14 months now 😏

helpful information, called my doctor / butcher ,and stop my shoulder surgery replacement due in one week...google takes 20% of support money, seems like robbery to me

What about bone on bone with no necrosis?

I have mild arthritis from a fall. Two drs said I would need hip surgery. They both thought I had osteoporosis too. Took a DexaScan and no osteoporosis. I did not want hip surgery yet. I want to do physical therapy and try to strengthen those muscles, which is working. My orthopedic dr. Is not seeing me anymore, probably because I told him I did not want hip surgery. So I will see the new dr at the end of the month. I have three more weeks of physical therapy. Took a week and a half off to see if I can work out with out it. Been to the gym three times. Can do 1/2 hr on treadmill and yoga. Want to work up to 45min on treadmill. I also do all the machines they have at physical therapy. Wish me luck. Going to the gym tomorrow.

How much weight must I lose

Wow more power to that person hippy. I have bilateral avn in both my hips the right is worse than my left. I've been outta work for the last month and I'm in stage 2 of avn I'm confined to a cane I barely sleep and on pain meds and nsaids. I'm have my final appointment with my orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday he's against surgery. I need to get back to work and my family.

My doctors are recommending hip preservation surgery for my acetabular hip dysplasia. I was born with congenital dysplasia and had an open reduction to get it into the socket. It has hurt my entire life even with PT. Anyway what are your opinions about preservation surgeries?

cause of hip pain can be a most important asset When we know what can cause a messed up furmer , like the one showed and I have that messes up bone as well...I think its acid that eats away at the bones....I was on a paleo diet ,and that was meat twice a day..and another meat diet...My acid from food is very bad..40 mg of a pill for the acid removal..I don,t do much meat these days, tho I am left with taking a pill each day.a study on cause for eaten away bones.so this surgery can stop!!!

Do any of y'all have bone on bone???

I was told I have a level 3 arthritis in my right hip and my doctor only offered shots for the pain. I am not a fan of shots as they are limited in what they can do and how many one can take. This is something that has been getting worse the last 6 months I am 65 and cut back on my activity until I get a handle on my pain and movement. Right now just trying to get my movements back without pain

I started researching THR and found that 30% have more pain after THR.

I have osteoarthritis in my hips left hip is more Prominent. I have subchondral cysts on the left side two surgeons have said I need hip surgery. Supposed to happen early April is it because of the subchondral cyst that they are confident that I need a new hip as well as the x-rays they see or is it just OE is the reason for surgery? More pain in the left than the right

Have a perineural cyst in the sacral area on the spine... Is it possible this is giving me the pain in the hip area? I feel pain in the knee and back buttocks/ hip area. I'm at a loss at what to do. My discs and vertebrae r good. So I'm attributing my pain to this cyst but I could be wrong . I've had two MRIs

Hi! unfortunetly I already had the hip replacement surgery. What can I do in this case? May I practise the asian squat then?

What about when it’s bone on bone and severe pain? I have a difficult time getting into my car, squatting, going from sitting to standing etc. Is there a way to build whatever may be missing that caused the bone on bone?

A friend has been told her hip problem is because of Bob on bone so can she benefit from exercise to calm the pain she has. Should she go forward with hip replacement? She has some weight to lose as well. And A fib

Thank you so much this video has given me new inspiration to carry on strengthening my hip muscles - after arthroscopy surgery they told me I had level for arthritis and would probably need a new hip -It’s very hard to stay motivated and not give up when you have this kind of advice - so thank you so much for your positive outlook as always - I know you probably won’t read this because you get the haters - but now there’s an awful lot of people like me who you help to still look forward to a healthy life- So I’m blocking the system and losing weight even though I’ve started the menopause and I’m getting fitter and stronger - pain can actually be a good inspiration to turn your body around- It might actually have been the best thing that’s ever happened to me because I’m fitter thinner than I’ve ever been in my life - so say thank you to hip pain LOL

good posture can take pressure off the s.i. joint and lower back

Did all the building up side muscles in agony now having cortisone needles in bones 2 times week

I think if you have tried all the exercises including yours and you are still in pain and it is ruining your life then you should try surgery.

Had hip pain for 2years or so doctors say bone on bone need hip replacement no so sure after listening to you pain is sometimes pretty bad not sure what to do jay nz

Needing to walking using 2 canes is a good time to get hip surgery too. This is a great video. Kudos Matt. She could not function and they wouldn't do it. Agreed, really weird

Great job as a former professional athlete, my hips just started killing me at 67. I am trying to source options and I believe if I exercise and strengthen my muscles I will over come the pain, great video, I am always optimistic to beat the severe pain I feel.

Imo surgeons are selling surgeries. I was told that I needed hip surgery several years ago and almost fell for it. My pain from stage 3 arthritis was terrible, but found an amazing Dr who treated me for ilopsoas tendonitis and amazingly all the pain went. Of course the stretches and exercises have to be done on a regular basis or the pain returns. I highly recommend trying this. Best wishes for all

I am in my 30s and have join loss since I was 13 years old. I suffered an accident that placed my femur head in a position where my leg cannot move normally, so I naturally started making muscle compensations. As a consequence, I have severe muscle atrophy in multiple muscles (gluteus, femoral, quadriceps). Surgeons have always given me this diagnosis: As long as the pain you experience is bearable, as long as the pills still have an effect, don't have surgery. They recommended that I stay at a low weight and do low-impact activities. And here I am, so limited in movement today that I can't ride a bike, walk for more than 10 minutes, stand for prolonged periods... Putting on shoes, putting on socks, cutting my toenails are already impossible tasks. And the pain is still bearable for me... I have a son, and I feel like I'm losing my life with him. Carrying him means suffering for me. Playing with him is difficult, and there are things that are impossible today. To tell the truth, no one knows how long we will be in this life, and I scheduled the surgery without the doctor's recommendation. I'm having the surgery in 10 days.
