Degenerated Hip
Q. My wife has been diagnosed with a degenerated right hip, X-rays show bone on
bone conditions and
calcium
deposits around her
hip
socket. She can barely walk, especially after sitting for a bit, and NEVER
sleeps
more than an hour at a time before waking up screaming in pain. The pain and
severe cramping start in her
lower back pain
and right
buttock extending down through
her groin, inside and over her thigh, which cramps severely, and down into her
calf, with cramping also. She cannot straighten out her legs, particularly, when
lying on her back, without great pain. I believe this describes "Sciatica".
Her Orthopedic Surgeon states she must have
hip replacement.
In your opinion, would the surgery stop the pain? Would
Prolotherapy
stop the pain?
A. No doctor can
guarantee that what they do will stop all of the pain but from what you describe
it sounds like your wife has 'end-stage'
hip arthritis.
As such she needs a total hip replacement. Because her hip basically doesn't
move because of the 'bone on bone' phenomenon her body has compensated by
causing the pelvic movement to occur at her
sacroiliac
joint and lower back. That is probably why she has pain in her lower back also.
It is hoped that having the hip replacement will solve all of her pains. I
suspect it will help most of her pains. If she has residual pain in her lower
back after the hip replacement then she needs an evaluation for Prolotherapy.
Prolotherapy to the lower back and
sacroiliac joints
would hopefully resolve the rest of her pain.
