What Does Pain In The Hips And Back Indicate?
I am a healthy 78 yr old. I see my doctor for my wellness visit every year. Recently I have developed a pain in what I think is my hip bone. It come from the middle of my bone in the back and radiates to the front. I have not told my dr this...yet. Could it be arthritis?

Hi,
The pain you feel in your hip bone could be due to arthritis. However, I advise to tell this to your doctor as might need to run a few tests at your age (78):
- x-ray of hip bone and joint
- vit d and calcium levels
- Dexa (bone density test)
Wish fast recovery.
