What Causes Pain In Hips And Difficulty In Walking?

Im finding that when I walk, Its hard to do so, my hip joint from my upper right seems to catch causing me to almost fall. I am 52, and ive applied tiger balm on it to. When I go to stand from a sitting position, I have to hang on to the closest thing to be able to walk.

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I came to know that you may be having osteoarthritis of both hips as it is common in your age. It can be confirmed by x-pelvis with both hips AP view. Its treatment is diacerine and glucosamine. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovering. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. 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.
