Hip pain

mumski1

Hello I’m new to the site but hoping to get advice etc. I’m waiting for a hip op that maybe April , I’ve been given so many different drugs to help with pain but nothing works. I live alone have a little dog so I need to go out daily any tips on how to manage this ? Thank you for welcoming me to the site.🙏

Hi @mumski1  

Welcome to the versus arthritis forum. 

Whilst you await your hip operation you’ve tried a variety of drugs to manage the associated pain but none are helping much. You’d like to hear from any forum members who can suggest any alternatives you might try. 

Hopefully you’ll receive some useful suggestions. In the interim these links may help:

I hope you don’t have to wait to long for your operation and that your recovery goes well. 

Best Wishes
