I AM 58 YEARS OLD. WAITING FOR A HIP REPLACEMENT , DON T HAVE THE DATE YET AND SEEM TO BE GETTING LESS AND LESS MOBILE. MY KNEES HURT SO MUCH WHEN I TRY TO SLEEP THEY KEEP ME UP. I ALSO HAVE A SWOLLEN ANKLE THAT GETS A LITTLE BIGGER EVERY WEEK. CAN I DO ANY THING TO RELIEVE ANY OF THIS ? I WORK FULL TIME 42 HOURS A WEEK ON MY FEET, SO WHEN I GET OUT I AM BEAT!
Hello, I have studied your case. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. If required intra-articular injection can be given. Diet rich in calcium and protein will help. You may need to take calcium supplement. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
