Hi @NinaB firstly let me welcome you to the forum I hope you find the information and support you are after from our wonderful community.

I can see from your post that you have recently been diagnosed with hip arthritis, which I am assuming is Osteoarthritis but please correct me if I am wrong. You are looking for support and hoping to get answers from your doctors appointment next week.

The site is full of information and I wanted to signpost you to some as a starter. Firstly an overview of hip OA and then some tips for helping with hip pain.

Please feel free to search the forum for others with similar experiences and I am sure that some of our community will be able to help offer some useful suggestions.

Take care and I hope you get some relief and answers soon.

Thanks

Joe
