    Hi JayH1 welcome to the online Community.

    I'm so sorry to hear that your hip pain is proving so difficult. There are a number of things you can try to see if they work for you which can be found on our comprehensive page on the subject:

    https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/conditions/hip-pain/
    • This includes a section on Managing symptoms and also Exercises that you might like to try.
    • There is also some more general advice on Managing your pain
    • You can also ask for help from your GP, specifically to refer you to a Pain Management Clinic.

    Best wishes

    Try putting your laptop on the kitchen work surface and perch on a stool as this will effectively reduce your hip angle, it won't get rid of the pain but should reduce it a bit.
