I am so glad to hear that you will be going to see a doctor regarding your hip pain, and I hope you write us back to keep us updated on your diagnosis and possible treatment options (we can help you research your options, if you would like!)

I'm confused as to what your question is, however. Are you wondering if the NSAIDs you have taken caused your hip to be infected? It does not sound like any of your doctors believe that you have an infection (bacterial or viral) in your hip, so am not understanding your question.

The side effects of taking too many NSAIDs have more to do with your heart and GI, and do not cause infections.

If you are trying to find any cause that could have been prevented, there are just so many possible reasons for hip pain, and the origin will hopefully be found during your procedure. Have your doctor(s) talked with you about their assumptions regarding the origin of your pain (cartilage, joint, muscle, bone, etc). Do you have arthritis or joint pain or autoimmune conditions in your family?
