Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
Pain along hip joint on standing indicates possibility of hip arthritis
As per your history there can be hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN].
I will advise you do X ray of hip again and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.
After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI.
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.
Diet rich in calcium and protein will help.
At age of 65 osteoporosis can be associated so you may need to take calcium supplement.
Clinical examination is required to rule out pain arising from spine which may radiate to leg.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
