10 Hip Pain Remedies

10. Surgery

Most patients with hip pain will never need surgery, but this is a final option for those who have tried more conservative options and found no relief. In most cases, hip pain will be present for years before repair or replacement surgery is necessary. This is more common in cases where arthritis is present, and degeneration has occurred. Surgeons can also remove bone spurs, which are often very painful and difficult to treat without surgery. Your doctor can help you to determine whether surgery is necessary, but since it is very invasive and typically requires a lengthy recovery period, other treatment options should be exhausted before you go down this path.
