Hi @Peppa

Thank you for joining, hopefully you will find useful information and advice here.

You say you have a recent diagnosis of OA of the hip and are experiencing pain and stiffness.

Being diagnosed with osteoarthritis doesn’t mean your condition will get worse, as there are things you can do to improve your symptoms, this includes healthy eating and making sure you get plenty of exercise as this will strengthen the muscles that support your hip joint.
