Arthritis in the hips, like just about any other form of arthritis, can be debilitating and the pain excruciating. This condition is the result of the breakdown of cartilage, and with arthritis in the hips, the pain can even shoot down to the affected individual's knees. When a case of arthritis in the hips has a significant impact on a patient's mobility, it can negatively affect everyday activities like walking, gardening, and sports, which is precisely why prompt and effective treatment is so important. Before surgery, individuals with hip arthritis can consider alternative treatments like stretching, mobility aids, and cortisone injections. Steroids will be injected directly and target the joint itself, making the pain more manageable at least temporarily.
