What Causes Severe Pain On The Left Hip?

My left hip is bone on bone. I am in constant excruciating pain. I wake up every night crying out in pain. I need a hip replacement but cannot afford to take off of work to have it done. My knee on the left side is also constantly throbbing in pain. I am at my wits end. I cannot live like this any longer.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear. You are having osteoarthritis. There is decreased calcium in the bones and the synovial fluid around the joints have dried up. That is why the bones touch each other and there is pain.

Pain killers like Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Diclofenac tablets can give temporary pain relief. Calcium suppliments can help in the initial stages, but now if you are in the advanced stage surgery is the only best and permanent solution.

So i suggest you to kindly arrange for the money and undergo hip replacement surgery.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
