Waiting for hip replacement operation. Had TKR 7 years ago and now need the hip done. Fell 2 years ago and landing very heavily on my bottom.

Brief Answer: Explained below Detailed Answer: Hello, I have studied your case. Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. If required intra-articular injection can be given. Pain on movement can be associated with arthritis. Lack of movement will aggravate pain so you need to do range of motion exercises for hip and knee. Pain on hip movement will reduce after joint replacement. At age of 73 osteoporosis can be associated so you may need to take calcium supplement. Diet rich in calcium and protein will help. Hope this answers your query.
