If it’s bone on bone you need a hip replacement. Your options are either have this done or not. Personally i had the surgery 2 years ago and never regretted it. Have a look at the Hip and knee thread and am sure it will reassure you.

From what I know if your hips are knackered the only real option is a total hip replacement I had thirteen weeks between my two. Do look up prehab exercises
As said lots of info on other threads

Gwyllt yes Dr Google says that.. and more - would appreciate any advice from
GNs on their experience of this type of Hip condition.. and what type of surgery options they had and what the results were 🤔

Just googled it appears to be a type of osteoarthritis.
Hip replacements give you a new lease of life. Good luck with loosing weight

Thank you both...I've not heard of hip sclerosis as a diagnosis before and wanted to know of anyone's experiences...yes know of hip replacements etc but not of sclerosis in both hips and wanted to hear about this particular diagnosis. This pain has been severe over number of years and only now, do i have a diagnosis..have to try and lose weight before any surgery and feeling quite low...

Saw GP today after hip x-ray and was informed I needed hip surgery...am not surprised at this outcome as have so much pain in walking..has anyone had this diagnosis ..GP said basically my hips are 'buggered' as both hip joints are bone on bone.-referred me for surgery- am not sure of which type of surgery and would appreciate any GNs who have had this diagnosis as really need to understand what my options are and any comments/advice are welcome..
