- Can you get better if you have hip pain from hip arthritis?
Many people wonder if having hip osteoarthritis means there's no hope of improving their range of motion, strength, and quality of life without surgery. Matt answers that question with two studies and observations that give you some hope.

One study examined knee pain from arthritis. The second study examined hip pain from arthritis. Both studies showed that x-ray evidence of arthritis in the knees and hips had no correlation to symptoms!

I'm 39 years old and dealing with some pain and very reduced flexibility went to Dr. And got this report... Bilateral coxarthrosis, more significant on the left. It associates important marginal and also central (foveal) osteophytosis of the femoral head, marginal exacerbation of the acetabulum and also the reduction of the articular caliber, mainly in its external aspect. Absence of synovial effusion beyond the physiological threshold. Antero-external marginal osteophytic detachment in the pillar of the acetabulum on the left. Intrapelvic study without alterations. I don't want to do surgery...which of your programs should I go to?? I'm confused FAI Fix? Upright health? Can I have an online appointment with one of your specialists?
So true ...thank you for sharing this important information. People need to not give up hope or begin to think they are "damaged" in some way. I was having some persistent hip pain and had an ultrasound and xray. I was diagnosed with bone spurs in both hips and osteoarthritis . The left hip, which at the time was giving me the most discomfort during weight bearing activities, walking and standing, was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis, basically bone on bone with enthesis. I was sent for PT and after 12 weeks of various therapies and exercises, was told my only option was a hip replacement. By this time I had been in pain for several months. I was very skeptical and did a lot of research. I found your videos, and many others that provided other information and exercises. I also had deep laser therapy with a laser pad at my acupuncturist to reduce inflammation. I felt that over several treatments the laser therapy had reduced some of the inflammation and I continued the exercises and stretches. I have been basically pain free for months now although I assume I did not miraculously grow new cartilage or spontaneously dissolve bone spurs. I have good range of motion and can even do jumping jacks without pain. So I am living proof that the diagnostic information does not often sync with the lived experience of the human involved. As long as I am pain free (or reasonably pain free....I am 62) and can maintain my lifestyle comfortably, I honestly don't care what the the diagnosis is based on the xray or ultrasound.
That's amazing! I was diagnosed (via x--ray) w/severe right hip OA this week and thrown for a loop. I'm a dancer and was experiencing some loss of mobility, a bit of glute pain in my right hip but was not expecting some forboding image Love your story and will share it with my PT on Monday. Take care and keep on doing what you're doing--what a ray of hope you offer!
@@ruthanngreuling4683 so glad my story gives encouragement and hope. What doctors and PTs say has impact. Language matters...encouraging words create safety and calm the nervous system. Healing starts there.
Hi Linda I was diagnosed with hip OA two years ago, I’m 30 right now, there’s a possibility to get in touch with you to make you a few questions? It would be really encouraging for me thank you so much in advance
Well thats good & interesting to hear that your Accupuncturist was able to help by using deep laser therapy with a laser pad after several treatments:-)
Thank you so much for sharing this. You give me hope❣️
Love your channel. Big thank you and keep it coming!
Many thanks for sharing. We are grateful...thanks again
I'm so happy to hear this! THANK YOU!
Hi Matt, I thought I lost you. I agree with the report, I just wish I had knowledge of muscle attention when I did my hip replacements, a posterior in 2011, and an anterior in September 2015. My first was done by a prominent Orthopedic surgeon in Honolulu. Pain was never a big symptom for the first. It was severe tightness and inflexibility that caused me severe fatigue. I was always very tight especially after a surf session. I tried a lot of things to help, the last being hot Yoga which I fainted in, so I saw the surgeon. He said I wouldn't be flexible without a new hip and cartilage and after showing me the bone to bone image he told me that it had a 30 year guarantee with state of the art material, and I would have tremendous improvement in my quality of life. Now, I'm speaking for myself, because I know many people who swear by their joint replacements. However in my case, those great improvements have not occurred, and I continue daily to work on my muscles (all the hip flexors) in stretching and strength exercises.
The same surgeon had an MRI done on my other hip, right one, and the radiologist said I had developing osteoarthritis and a torn labrum and suggested surgery to examine the cartilage and trim the labrum. Well I wasn't to keen about that, so I got a second opinion from another Honolulu surgeon, and he said there was no need to operate, because my osteoarthritis would cause me to eventually have another hip replacement. Two years after, I did the right hip. According to the surgeons, the replacements were to improve the quality of my life at age 68 and make me do the things I love which is surfing and stand up paddling. Well I paddled out a few weeks ago, caught a few nice waves, and I've been trying to recover ever since. THE IMPROVEMENT OF MY QUALITY OF LIFE PROMISED BY THE SURGEONS HAS NOT OCCURRED WITH ME!
Now I'm working on muscles post two hip replacement surgeries especially those that act as hip flexors all around the quad and surrounding the pelvic area. Now when people who are considering joint surgery ask me, I tell them to make sure you have tried every alternative reasonably possible before deciding joint replacement surgery.
I am not a happy person with the results, but I can't reverse anything, so I deal with what is and continue to try my best. I've had two MRI's in the past 3 months. The doctors that review them write a report to your physician, and they either review the D.V.D. themselves or work from the report. Many times what they diagnose isn't the cause of the pain one is experiencing. If you have a good PCP they can give you other options than surgery. If surgery is suggested, the patient has to decide. I'm avoiding surgeries now and wish I could go back five years and start all over. Another thing, my first PT after the recent hip replacement was horrible. A waste of my time.
I have thought about your hip book I, but with the two surgeries, I don't know if reading and comprehending the content would be of great help. What's your thought?
Aloha, Chuck
Chuck, thanks for sharing this story. I'm sure many people will find it helpful to get that perspective from someone who's had two hip replacements. Healthy Hips 1 would be a fine way to start. By design, is a manageable routine that doesn't require you to get into too much technical stuff and doesn't require you to have a ton of knowledge about anatomy. As you familiarize yourself with your body and your muscles and get comfortable with working your hips, the FAI Fix may be a good way to go to start learning some more advanced techniques.
You could also check out the Upright Insider program for access to hundreds of exercise videos to help with your hips.
Hi, my mother has been told to do so she has a very bad arthritis and was asked for sugery. Please help me i'm a medical student by myself and agree with your opinion
Thank you for sharing your experience after 2 hip replacements. I am living with osteoarthritis in both hips. Had surgery booked to replace my right hip, and days before the surgery I got a tingling in my stomach to not go ahead with the surgery. So I phoned the surgeon and cancelled the surgery, that was in 2019. Thank goodness I did. Today I try to eat healthy, swim 5 days and use the sauna and steam room and do strengthening exercise at home.
Thanks very encouraging
I wonder if they differentiated the specific pain. Was it muscular pain or pain in the joints? Not very many nerves in a joint. Also, what kind of pain and the intensity? Perhaps a follow-up study is warranted by a grad-student. From my experiences my conclusion is that the body has a perfectly functioning feedback mechanism that signals pain when actual damage is exceeding the body's ability to repair that damage. In other words..."stop doing what you're doing because you're hurting me". My point: everyone wears down their joints during normal daily activity. The body repairs that damage during our nighttime sleep cycle. If you reach a point where daily damage exceeds daily repair the body lets you know about it. A good example is hip arthritis. One of the first symptoms (the body's feedback) is bursitis, or swollen iliopectineal bursa. The bursitis will progress through the stages of discomfort, pain, and fluid impediment. (Layman's terms; the bursa is located directly under the vein, artery, nerve and lymph bundle traversing the groin. When the bursa fills with fluid and expands, it cuts off the blood, nerve and lymph flow. This is a very effective way of forcing you to stop doing what you're doing. If you stop walking on that leg for a while the bursitis will diminish. Supposing you don't have a major injury to the joint such as a labrum tear, the body should repair itself in due course. My personal take on this is that modern man-made pain medication directly interferes with the natural repair process. You experience pain in your joints and you pop a few Tylenol. Doctors who have patients who are athletes with joint pain will probably also see elevated blood pressure. Prescribing medications to combat the high blood pressure will only slow the healing process. So to answer the pain/symptoms question...it all depends on the severity of damage. Everyone is different.
Makes me wonder if the radiographs are being read correctly. In the past, I had experience of two completely different interpretations of the same X-Ray. I was told reading them is both an art and a science.
Thanks for posting, I have been diagnosed with mild degenerative arthritis in both hips recently, which i put down to a bad lifting injury 6 years ago ( muscles have weakened ), what i wanted to ask is, if i work on strengthening muscles, will it be ok to continue in my current job which involves walking on hard surfaces footpaths and standing a lot for 6 hours a day ( inspecting trees )
Keep up the good work upright health.
inversion therapy (hanging upside down) worked for me -- after two weeks
i have no hip pain at all and im back into running - total cost $120
I was told years ago that “Motion is Lotion.” Since the pandemic I have been much less active and my hip (deep groin) pain has returned.
9:50 “if it’s me, deal with the muscles and see what happens”. I totally thank you for this advice.
Thanks for this great information. I needed surgery because turns out my hip had collapsed, my femur head was shredded and I had bone fragments and necrotic tissue floating around in there. Also when I stepped onto that leg it literally crunched down and I dipped about 3 inches when I walked. It was nasty and now I am doing great with a replacement but before I had surgery I tried everything else for a year until I was basically using a walker and wheelchair. The other hip developed a muscle strain in the adductor and is slow to heal but seems to have less acute pain now. I had xrays and there is absolutely no OA in the image but I have pain that "sounds" like OA. Fortunately, my doctor said exactly what you said and diagnosed a muscle strain from my year of unbalanced walking and advised me to do muscle work very gradually and gently to let the muscle heal and regain strength in different positions over time. I wish I felt awesome already but I'm grateful he did not say "oh yeah....let's replace the other hip." He said images of OA and pain are often uncorrelated and that correlation does not mean causation. My first hip....it was basically gone...no question there but with good advice and your videos the other side is slowly healing. And I can do my Asian squat again but need a bit of support as that adductor heals. I love gardening and my squat is essential so hoping to be good by summer! Thanks for all your great content!
So how would you explain the success rate of hip replacements? Meaning patients universally see benefits.
Very intelligent take
Hi, Thanks for all the info since diagnosed with osteoarthritis and borderline osteoporosis agggh I knew it bloomin hurt.
Sir thank you im getting almost immobile. and get osterporis but do you have a link to anv? are could you make one. ive been on a long journey for 10 months and had bad doctors at first. and noncaring but im being told not to exercise? im seeking help i was told today i gotta do another mri to make sure my bone dont break during surgery....and i look frayile. well who wudn look tht way wen ive been exercising n trying n still being told this but of coarse doctor doesnt no everything i went thru and i told him i feel like 4th of july with all these nerves going crazy n i feel like i got worse since inhavent exercised much and he said only tad of walking n lifting my legs in chair. i thought matt tht exercise was important? would u plz help me to understand. now my shoulder hurting:( plz help me? after tht injury 10 months ago. i go up n down but now im getting almost immobile
I think there are many reasons someone could have hip pain - i.e. horizontally rotated pelvis, sciatica, pinched nerves etc - so correlation seems weak for "pain with no arthritis" - having arthritis but little pain could have to do with level of activity - if they don't do much activity they won't have pain and/or if they are appropriately active and eat well (alkaline) they can stave off arthritic pain...??
Had a PRP shot in hip with tear, arthritis and a ligament tear. After 2 years of pain on sitting, it finally was gone. Going back for PRP in other hip and another in left hip. Trying to avoid Surgery.
I love this theory. Sadly I had tons of pain and terrible x rays, and it correlated for sure. I had a hip replacement :( I wonder if I could have avoided it..probably not..but it's so scary because I may need another one having been young for this procedure
Interesting video! I was diagnosed hip arthritis on my left hip and much pain and discomfort. I never believed that THR would solve my problem. I felt my musscles cause the pain. It appears tension in my muscles cause muscle shortening thereby causing hip wear and a bone on bone situation. If this is the cause of all trouble then THR will not be the solution. The hip replacement will also wear very fast if the muscle tension is not fixed. So my focus is now on stretching, accupuncture and changing my life style. This is not a quick fix though and no guarantee it will work out as I hope. But I do think this is the right thing to do and matches what I feel in my body. I hope to avoid THR altogether. Let’s see….
Are you still doing sessions and videos?
So so true!..I remember the time and day working out and I heard the 'tear' of my TFL..I limped for 2 months.Went to doctor.He looked at my 'xray' and said HIP SURGERY 4 U!.. I told him I do not need 'hip replacement'..So it's true what he's saying here..
I worry because. I been told hip replacement. I dont want that. is there any other way. that i have arthritis. I been stench. and exercise.
Hi, I'm new to all this. 2 weeks ago, I was walking up stairs and there was a grind/grab/awkward sensation at the front of my hip. It slowly progressed to burning stiffness upon standing and almost unbearable nerve irritation/pain sensation when sitting. This is when I turned to watching videos on YT while awaiting an xray.
I started doing some of the recommended stretches but it has made things 10 times worse. I now cannot drive my car or sit at all without feeling agonising burning/irritation which only decreases after I lay down for hours. I realise now that I may have overdone the stretching/strengthening exercises in the first week post injury but there was no great fall/accident to indicate crippling injury was on its way. Xray says I have hip degeneration/narrowing and likely OA.
When you google acute hip injury or how to treat bone on bone acute hip injury/flare etc. no one is talking about an acute situation on YT. It appears to be just long-term suffering and potential solutions/treatment plans.
I would imagine I'm not the only one out there who is in this window (just injured in last few weeks etc.) of injury with subsequent imaging indicating arthritic changes, so could you please provide some assistance as to how best to treat an acute injury like mine. Also, when and how to know when it is time to transition into an arthritis/FAI treatment program?
Treatment summary:
Mistake No.1 - Stretching/ROM exercises
Mistake No.2 - Warm epsom salt baths (felt so good initially and I could do full ROM afterwards but then a world of pain and stiffness.
Mistake No.3 - Driving/sitting in spite of increasing pain/irritation (this was a HUGE mistake!)
Massaging - short term relief.
NSAI's and lying around in bed all day - So far this is the only thing that is keeping me sane.
You should know that if you sit, your knees should not sit above your hip joint. That seems to irritate the hip joint. I have a sports car type of vehicle with bucket seats whereby my knees are elevated above the hip joint and if I have to drive even a slightly longer distance than a short distance, I start squirming and wriggling and shifting in my seat because of major discomfort and pain.
As well, I saw a youtube video where they stated that if you are sitting for any period of time other than a very short time you should perform clam-shell style exercises right there where you are sitting. Heels together, hold the heels together and then open and close your knees. Keep moving your joints is what they say. I do this with an athletic stretch band placed around my legs just above the knees to work my glute muscles and I find it gives relief. It helps to keep the hip joints strong.
For 3 years my MRI showed torn hip labrum on left hip,also cam impingements. But recently had an open MRI with an arthrogram contrast, and it showed an intact labrum. How is that possible,cause I have more pain,stiffness, and less strength in left hip
I recently received my X/Ray Results that were done 6 months ago & I've got very bad Arthritis....:-( I had originally thought that it might be a Hip Impingement problem, so I dont know which is worse...:-(
Yes my x rays show severe hip arthritis. But my pain is tightness and lack of flexibility. Pain is not severe. Makes sense that symptoms not related to osteoarthritis. Started physical therapy. After two sessions, pain already improved.
Hi, I am stuck between two physiotherapists that disagree if I have osteoarthritis! The X-ray showed a small amount of narrowing but the pain in my outside thigh and knee is pretty horrible. This is now in both hips. I would like to mention I’ve broken a bone or two and not gone to hospital but this pain is worse. Hope the next Dexa scan can confirm as I’m stuck in limbo. The pain is awful lifting my feet and I can hear crunching in my hips when I turn the smallest degree. Honestly I don’t even care what it shows I only know how it feels.
39 years old got this report... Bilateral coxarthrosis, more significant on the left. It associates important marginal and also central (foveal) osteophytosis of the femoral head, marginal exacerbation of the acetabulum and also the reduction of the articular caliber, mainly in its external aspect. Absence of synovial effusion beyond the physiological threshold. Antero-external marginal osteophytic detachment in the pillar of the acetabulum on the left. Intrapelvic study without alterations. I don't want to do surgery...which of your programs should I go to?? I'm confused FAI Fix? Upright health? @uprighthealth
I really get what you mentioned at 5:20, the X-Ray on my left hip showed WAY WORSE degeneration and osteoarthritis, than my right hip, but my right hip was the side causing the excruciating pain all the way down my leg to the point I wasn't able to even sleep at night, barely able to walk, and getting up from a sitting position was very painful. Had my 1st cortisone injxn yesterday, OMG, WHAT A DIFFERENCE already!! Now, with the rt side "numbed out", I do feel a small amount of pain in the left side, but still no where near the pain I had on the rt side. Scheduled for a left side cortisone injxn in 2 wks. I also have bad arthritis in my lumbar spine region, so the rt side nerve root affected by that MAY have been a factor?? (guess) (Definitely have sciatica pain) I've always been a very physically active person and sure never imagined that I would be dealing with all of this at only 56 yrs old. 😮💨😞 {I'm hearing of very young people, in their 20's dealing with these issues already though!!!! So sad!!! 😢}
Wrong title, but good information.
I'm 36 and awaiting a total hip replacement of both hips due to osteoarthritis. I live in sever pain and can barely weight bare without aids and painkillers. My x rays show very little yet MRI's show they are rotten.
How did it go?
Interesting. Can't help with the mismatch between pain levels and radiographs but have after struggling for two years with significant pain (anterior), minor groin pain and now a recommendation for hip op, want to give FAI fix a try first. MRI result said "significant loss of superior joint space and subchondral changes along the femoral head...a large subchondral geode along the right acetabulum....consistent with a market osteoarthritis with subchondral change along both acetabular and the femoral head. A trace of oedema along the gluteal tendon..." but I am convinced after watching many of your videos that the FIX will either put off for some time or hopefully permanently the need to have surgery. Recovery from surgery is 6 weeks plus so am going to give the FIX 6 weeks first. Will let you know because I am sure that many others will be in the same boat.
+Bea Nicholson , give the FAI Fix at least 60 days, and do be in touch if you run into issues or are unsure of whether you're doing the right thing.
We tried to make it easy to "choose your own adventure" but it is a complex situation. Choosing the wrong direction can make things worse, so if you notice that happen, get in touch so we can put you on the right path!
+Upright Health The 6 weeks was hoping that I saw enough improvement to know I was on the right path - not a complete fix I promise. I know that 50+ years of problems aren't going to be fixed that quickly (nice as that would be). I did hit one problem - which others may have - started foam rolling and was so stiff the next day - fortunately realised what the problem was because the stiffness was in both thighs. I am very optimistic that I will sort this (have separately already emailed you with the history, and contradictions I had from various practitioners, in the hope that it will be useful when we publish another success story)
+Bea Nicholson name is the same but I purchased FAI fix and other emails from a slightly different email address (sorry to confuse)

Update?
I've got Friedrich Ataxia..15 years.doing great staying active..but have arthritis in my inner thigh. Dr said hip replacement.. 2nd opinion said had bone on bone. I do well BUT the pain if my knee goes so.high or if leg turns out is unbelievable. I'm very positive and trying to keep going.lve have too much going on that hip replacement really not going to help enough with the Ataxia. I just need simple exercises for inner-thigh that can help,.lm 59.and am on no medication.
What the authors may be calling osteoarthritis with no radiographic evidence could be diffuse osteoarthritis that can been seen during scope surgery.
The last couple of decades I’ve been living with chronic osteoarthritis. Over the last year or so my symptoms have literally reversed and I am months from a full recovery. I feel reborn.
That's amazing to hear!! What did you do to reverse that?!
What made the change?
Subsequent hip replacements and a combination of chiropractic/ massage therapy and deep surrender
@@dylanhakaraia9413 surgery isn’t the answer for me. Too much irreparable body damage…
@@dylanhakaraia9413 Hip replacement is major MAJOR treatment. Not to be thought of lightly. All surgery, but especially bone replacements, damage the body from which there is no return. To be put off or forward as long as possible . Do exercise, eat healthy, take meds, trial Radon therapy. Win-win-win.
I have rheumatoid arthritis, which when it flares, seems like osteoarthritis lots of pain and X-ray shows no osteoarthritis 🤷🏽♀️
Got a friend who was diagnosed with osteoarthritis on the hip doctor told her she needs hip replacement she can’t walk and if she does it’s only a short distance but either Sever pain she was told her bones has little holes in it. She doesn’t know what stage is that I’m looking for help for her or what to do .please if any body have any idea or what exercises she could do will appreciate it

Hello, there’s a way to make an online consultation with you ?
Oooh .. beware of online quacks !
I have literally just been to a specialist about my severe left hip pain armed with an MRI. He says it's arthritis but that my right hip looks even worse and has zero pain or loss of motion...go figure.
To awnser your question, we are all made different.
It makes sense as a conclusion when there is a strong attachment to the idea of 'arthritis' being the only cause of pain. So rather than that X-rays may have been pretty meaningless over the years when they 'showed' arthritis and gave a way of correlating a presenting pain with something on an X-ray, they would rather go with the idea that it's that arthritis hasn't been identified by the X-ray .....but it 'must' be there because there's pain. Basically an inability to let go of any other interpretation of pain as being other than through arthritis.......because so much is vested in the idea of arthritis that to consider otherwise would undermine a whole industry that deals with arthritis.
+Alan Sharland, that does seem to be what's going on. It's so odd to see this happening with hip conditions when this same cycle of over-reliance and overinterpretation of imaging already happened with spinal pathology.
+Upright Health I see a similar thing happening in various areas of 'health' where if something doesn't fit the 'dogma' it must be due to failure to identify it rather than that it is an incorrect diagnosis. I enjoy your videos because they gave me an 'out' from the continuous return to the idea I have 'moderate arthritis' in my right hip and so need to accept just light exercise and potentially pain-killers or eventually surgery....based on a 2 min GP assessment then being sent for an X-ray. No suggestion of osteopathy, physiotherapy etc.
+Alan Sharland glad to be a beacon of hope for you. Keep searching, keep testing, keep learning. You can learn a lot about your body if you don't accept what is essentially "you're getting older" for an answer.
P.S. To be very clear, "you're getting older" is a crap answer. :-)
+Upright Health :-) I've heard people say their problems are due to 'getting older' since they were in their 20s.....I agree totally....it's a crap answer. By the way, did I hear you say in the vid that the journal was the BMJ? Probably the British Medical Journal....one you would have hoped would have seen the alternative interpretation you suggest in response to the findings.
+Alan Sharland It is the British Medical Journal! Thanks! My mind gets mixed up with all the journal title abbreviations sometimes.
Very painful.. I can't sleep. I can't put on my socks. Bend over + hurts to climb stairs. Sitting in a bathtub. Nope.. 😟
How are u feeling now ?
How are you mow?
Our culture, these days, is physically lazy. There's 'a hundred' things we can do that once took a lot more physical effort. Our muscles are like an accordion: you have to stretch them out to get 'music'. Pain comes when your muscles are tight and jamming your joint together. These things don't show up on an x-ray. I have stage 3/4 osteoarthritis in my hip. It's taking time, but regular stretching is eliminating my pain. And take magnesium! The classic test for magnesium is a blood test. But your body keeps a certain amount in your bloodstream. And when your bloodstream needs more, it takes it from your organs, and muscles. So a blood test is not a good indicator of magnesium deficiency.
Or you could be very physical but not in proper alignment. So it's not always a lazy thing. Maybe a job has messed with your posture.
Medicinal misinformation you highlighted most people have alignment problems
X-rays are old technology. My CT and mri showed severe arthritis. Husbands neck xray showed nothing. Mri showed a fracture, and arthritis. After a car accident, the EM told my daughter just a fracture. Mri years later said her foot was crushed. My daughter-in-law recently fell and broke her foot. But the Dr said it wasnt broken, gave her a wrap and said stay off it for a few weeks. A month after laying on the couch I told her find someone else. Sure enough. Broken foot. I could go on. No more xrays. Bad for us anyway.
6:40 seems to be saying “even if everything looks alright don’t lose your physician hope; you can still find some other excuse to do surgery”.
So basically all you're saying is x-rays don't necessarily tell us anything. Not sure why it's had to take you 11 minutes for? I suggest you could have given us the Links at talked about it for 2 minutes max.
I suggest you didn't have to watch it and comment, you go do a better video
X rays do tell us a lot. He is talking about the pain response....
Your video is pretty bad... you are trying to explain a topic you clearly don’t understand. since the gold standard diagnostic tool is not an x-ray.... the gold standard diagnostic tool is Magnetic resonance imaging with contrast.... and CT scan. X-ray is a very superficial diagnostic tool to begin with. A lot of pain is also not based specifically only with arthritis - but there are multiple mechanisms of pain - including active labral tears, muscle insufficiency in the hip triangle, sacral conditions, and even spinal. The hip quadrant pain can come from multiple factors. But hip osteoarthritis is rather debilitating for most people as it increases and gets worse over time. But the pain mechanism can Ofcourse be worse - during various stages of osteoarthritic changes. For example CAM impingement always leads to progressive osteoarthritis... but it’s not osteoarthritis in the early stage... yet you doing active damage to labrum is extremely painful - long before you develop osteoarthritis. Indeed - sometimes removing cartlege can sometimes lead to temporary relief, but long term - developing osteoarthritis leads do decreased mobility - life style changes and even pain.
That's what I have CAM impingement. It can also be cause if there an abnormality of the femoral head.
