Comprehensive Hip Pain Treatment

You should consult a doctor if your hip pain persists for more than a few weeks, is severe, interferes with daily activities, or is accompanied by swelling, redness, or fever. Immediate medical attention is needed for sudden, severe pain, inability to bear weight, or visible deformity.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Hip arthroscopy typically requires 2-4 weeks for initial recovery, with full activity resuming in 3-6 months. Total hip replacement patients usually stay in the hospital 1-3 days, with full recovery taking 6-12 weeks. Dr. Feghgi will provide a personalized recovery plan.

Yes, many hip conditions can be effectively treated with conservative measures such as physical therapy, medications, lifestyle modifications, and injections. Surgery is typically recommended when conservative treatments fail to provide relief or when the condition requires structural repair.

High-impact activities like running, jumping, and deep squats should be avoided. Prolonged sitting, climbing stairs, and certain yoga poses may also aggravate hip pain. Dr. Feghgi will recommend specific activities to avoid based on your condition and provide safe alternatives.

You may need a hip replacement if you experience chronic hip pain that interferes with daily activities, stiffness that limits movement, pain even at rest, and haven't found relief from conservative treatments. Dr. Feghgi will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
