Diagnosed with bilateral osteoartritis of the hip and prety scared

What you have is osteoarthritis which is essentially a wearing down of the flexible tissue that holds the joints together. You are pretty young to be getting this and your hip is likely to become pretty painful. Since it's only in the early stages hopefully it will stay there for a long time. I know that most surgeons do not like to replace joints until you're quite a bit older than 32. The good thing is that osteoarthritis is nothing like rheumatoid arthritis or some of the other inflammatory arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is the kind that make your fingers bend oddly at the joint. I'm sure you've seen that. And it affects the entire body. Whereas osteoarthritis does not affect the entire body. That's not to say you can't have it in several joints. I have it in both thumbs, my left knee, my lower back and neck. Your weight can affect your joints as well. For example I am very heavy so that has compounded the issue on my left knee and my back. Weight can really wear down a joint if it's one of the weight bearing joints.

Many with OA of the hip have developed symptoms eventually thatrequire hip replacement .

This solution is a outcome for many thousands . It can give a better quality of life and maintain mobility. I have had two hip joint replacements and one revision. I can do everything I enjoy in life and maintain a better quality of life. That's what it's all about. 

Ask about a physical therapist who can direct you in many areas to help your OA and maintain good health. Diet, hip care and meds can all have a positive roll in managing OA. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, 🎄

what you are suffering is very common, just not at your age. The good news is that its in your hips and not like with me in my fingers. I have finger joint replacements but they are far from perfect, where as hip replacements work brilliantly. I know many people who have had them done and they are all pain free and lead a very active life. I would be asking the question, when can I have my hip replaced. 

people on here will suggest diets and loads of other stuff but the one thing that has been proven to work is hip replacement surgery which is very common. 

Dont be depressed, its just happened to you earlier than the rest of us. 

I have always been a very active person, however at 50 I was diagnosed with arthritis in both hips, one was worse than the other.  My 1st hip was replaced at 51, and I must say recovery was very easy, playing tennis again at 6 weeks.  I'm having my other one done next month, and I'll be 53.  The new hips last around 30 years, and are so much better than an arthritic hip.  They are not slowing me down at all. 

You are young, but if you get to the point of needing them replaced, you will be so ready, and will do great.  

Tnx for youre replyes guys , but i was wondering cuz my  ortopedian told me that in 30 years i will need a hip replacement ... and i know that is not true.... and i was wondering how mutch can i delay the procedure without completley affectting my quality of life ... that s why i aked for how long people have had this problem and how long they can manage this disiease 

Why do you want to delay? They can easily replace a hip, I know people who are on their 2nd joint on one side. The only way to improve your quality of life and get back to normal is to get that hip joint replaced with a replacement joint. You will be pain free and can move like normal, why delay feeling better, seethe other posts. 

Exactly, finger joint surgery doesnt give you full movement, where as hip replacement you get full movement back provided you do the physio after the op. Its a joint replacement that is very successful. of course the people with problems always post but they are a very,very small minority, the vast majority return to a a normal life again
