Dr. O'Connor describes the symptoms associated with hip arthritis.
Dr. O'Connor:
Unfortunately, it’s pain. Pain is the best warning sign that you have some arthritis in your hip, and that’s the thing that brings the patient to the doctor saying, “I have pain in my hip and I can’t walk as far as I want. I can’t do as many activities as I used to because of this silly, annoying pain I have in my hip.”
