New diagnosis of hip

Jellyt0ts

Hi everyone, just found out I have moderate OA in my left hip.. whatever moderate means? I do have bone Spurs inside ie the groin so my mobility moving my leg/ knee across the body is limited and painful. I do exercise daily and trying to keep active in my regular sports of horse riding and surfing but the pain is depressing especially afterwards.

Hi @Jellyt0ts

Welcome to the Versus Arthritis forum. 

I see that you are newly diagnosed with OA in your hip which is giving you some mobility issues. You undertake daily exercise but experience pain afterwards. 

Well you’ve definitely come to the right place to chat with people who have similar symptoms.
