Brief Answer:
Hip Xray

Detailed Answer:
hi thanks for your question.

you should see your dr who can examine your hip to see if it is painful and stiff. the dr can then order an X-ray which will show whether you have arthritis in your hip joint accounting for the pain you are experiencing. if this is the case the treatment will depend on the severity of your symptoms. best wishes
