HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that there may be worsening of the arthritis in the joint. This may cause to alter the way that you move , putting pressure on other areas.
If surgery is not an option for you right now, you would need to consider continued pain medication and physiotherapy.
In some persons the use of chondrotin helps as well
I hope this helps
