Hi everyone, I have just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips. I am 35 years old. I went to see my doctor complaining of hip pain and discomfort in my right hip for a few months. I also have bowed legs which I thought might be contributing. I was referred for an x-ray due to my medical history including a leg…
I am having a scan later this month but I suspect my genes are to blame. Plus bending over a desk for over 45 years... I was also an enthusiastic tennis player in my youth (with a big serve).

I generally keep quite active and walk daily with a few visits to the gym each week. However I still have this chronic pain in the front side of my right hip which…
