Hi @Tottey a warm welcome to the Versus Arthritis online community.

I can see from your post that your Doctor suspects Arthritis in your hip I am thinking probably Osteoarthritis. You sound as though you are struggling with your pain too. Getting the right pain relief can be trial and error to be honest so don't give up keep talking to your GP until you find something which helps.

This information is about Osteoarthritis of the hip I hope you find it useful:

and this is about hip pain and what might help you:
