Hello @Nickybu and welcome to the Community, we are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.
First of all I hope you don't mind me moving your post - I wanted to make it a separate topic so hopefully others will share their support and experiences with you. I understand that you have severe arthritis in your hip and waiting for a replacement. I hope you get some progress soon, but in the meantime please have a look at the following from our website which I hope might be of some use.

Please keep posting and let us know how you are getting on.
With best wishes,

thank you for your message’s and sign posting. I was diagnosed with mild to moderate arthritis in 2014. I had lots of physio before the diagnosis and after. I had shockwave treatment and also 1 steroid injection which did help a lot. It took a lot of phone calls and chasing to get another X-ray this year to be told that it is now bone on bone and “no wonder I’m in so much pain” and they will refer me for surgery. I have some good days and bad days but in more recent weeks a lot of bad. I have been taking cocodamol. I could help myself if I lost some weight and all the things they recommended you do. Just need to get myself motivated which is why I reached out to this group in the hope I might find some inspiration 😊

Losing weight is difficult without exercise but worth trying if your overweight. I resorted to a mixture of detox diet I used in the past, and something new. I went for fruit only in the morning, sandwiches for dinner, and rest of the time eat what I want (including snacks and take aways !). Nothing happened but then I cut out red meat most of the time as its bad for cholesterol anyway. Chicken gets a bit boring, but I can put up with it. That way I finally started to gradually lose weight and lost 15kg so far (2.5 stone). Im not a great fan of crash diets.

That’s brilliant that you’ve lost that weight, well done! I am overweight. I actually downloaded the NHS healthy eating app yesterday. I have to make a start as the pain is quite intense at the min.
