Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, X-ray of affected joint and Rheumatologist review is needed.

It may also need surgical treatment and replacement.

Meanwhile, OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen along with Tramadol can be used. Avoid too much weight bearing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
