Morning struggles with hip arthritis
I was diagnosed with hip arthritis in the summer following a scan. It's so painful in the morning that I'm struggling to get to the bathroom. I'm tired all the time but if I rest during the day it's then a struggle again when I get up. Does anyone have any tips on what to do before I get up that will make it less painful. I'm only 54 but first thing I feel like 94. Thanks in advance

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. I think most people would say their pain is at its worst in the morning time. Here's an article from our website which you may find useful.

Hopefully others going through the same can give you some more tips on this.
All the best, Claudia :)
