Treatment of joint pain depends on the cause of pain. Hip pain definitely needs an proper evaluation to determine the cause of pain. If the pain is from arthritis like osteoarthritis, then exercise to strengthen the muscles around the joint help reduce the pain. “Stronger the muscles less the pain, weaker the muscles, more the pain”. If the pain is from some other cause your doctor will be able to tell you treatment more specific to the cause of pain. So make sure you discuss with your doctor.
