Question
I don’t engage in physical labor, nor have I had any intense exercise, and even now my level of physical activity is low. How is it possible to have such severe joint wear? Is the conservative treatment I’m currently undergoing severe enough to require joint replacement, and are there better treatment options available?
Answer
Based on your description, I recommend consulting with a joint specialist doctor to get a clear diagnosis. If it is indeed a case of hip joint wear, surgical treatment may be necessary. It is suggested that you first go to a regular professional grade-A hospital for a detailed examination and then receive treatment there. Generally speaking, the fees at such hospitals are relatively transparent. At the same time, be mindful to avoid overexertion, participate in more outdoor activities, and maintain a relaxed mood.
