Hip pain can be due to many things, so you must get an X-ray and see an orthopaedic doctor first. Don't start any heavy exercises or self-medicate without getting a proper diagnosis.
Hip arthritis is really painful to live with. Please consult a doctor for proper physical therapy and pain management.
Please keep a positive mind, as it helps the body heal. Along with gentle yoga as prescribed by your therapist and taking warm baths, do follow your doctor's medical advice carefully. Take care.
For my hip stiffness, doing basic physiotherapy exercises at home helped a lot. Using a hot water bag daily and wearing comfortable orthopaedic footwear makes walking much easier without spending too much.
Treatment usually starts with lifestyle adjustments, gentle low-impact exercises like swimming, and physiotherapy. If the pain is severe, doctors prescribe anti-inflammatory medications or eventually suggest joint replacement surgery for long-term relief.

Well, our hip joints are basically like old door hinges that need some oiling! Doctors usually suggest weight loss, low-impact exercise, or sometimes joint injections. If nothing works, there is always hip replacement which actually works wonders nowadays!
Dealing with chronic joint issues is really tough, and managing weight can be hard. Please see a good doctor to plan some safe, non-weight-bearing exercises like cycling to protect your hip joint.
