- How to relieve hip pain? When should you consider hip surgery for hip pain? Matt talks about when he would personally get surgery for hip pain based on research, conversations with hip pain sufferers, and his own experience with hip arthritis. Matt talks about surgery for hip arthritis, hip impingement, and avascular necrosis. If you have hip mobility and hip pain, this video will help you understand when hip surgery is a good idea and when it might not be.

I've been doing lots of stretches and strengthening for my stage 3 arthritis of both hips and bad back for many years now. Lately, supine pigeon stretch helped me loosen my hip joints noticeably and I even stopped limping on my left leg. Lie on the floor, grab your foot with your hands or wrap a belt around your foot and pull the foot toward your belly slowly several times. Rest and repeat. Do it with other stretches. You can add resistance later to strengthen hip muscles. Keep your obliques strong as well. Lose weight. It's a work, yes. But much better that having a surgery. Be well.
Hi Matt, my son had avascular necrosis in both of his hips at age 33. It took the Dr.s over a year to find out what the problem was, because he kept complaining about his back. Finally, a Dr. at UVA told him it was probably not his back, but his hips. Sure enough, that's what it was. He's had both hips replaced, and is doing much better. He was almost wheelchair bound, before. I'm grateful that he is better, and able to function almost normally, but still worry that these artificial ones will wear out long before he becomes a senior citizen.
Thanks Matt, great insights, as always. At age 30 after experiencing hip and low back pain I was diagnosed with hip joint dysplasia, Coxa Valga, where 'ball and socket' connect at a less than perfect angle, causing one-sided wear and tear on bone surfaces within the joint. Doc said I had the hip degeneration of an over-seventy-year-old. Now I AM an over-seventy-year-old! Thanks to very moderate exercise over 40 yrs (a bit of yoga, a bit of pilates, regular walking, lately a few 'upright health' stretches too ;) I now have MUCH LESS discomfort than at age 30.
Hi Matt, wrote to you before on your "Asian Squat" video. I am 68 years old and am the wife of Sander Rosenberg, who co-authored the 1978 water exercise book for arthritics and chronic pain sufferers called, "Pain-Free Arthritis". (Dvera Berson and Sander Roy). Sander wrote in 1978 that surgery for any chronic pain should be THE LAST RESORT!! He also was one of the first, if not THE FIRST to write about how x-rays can look "bad" and there could be no pain and x-rays could look not so bad and someone could have a lot of pain. My husband wrote that it was MUSCLES that were the culprits of chronic pain. (Unless a tumor or something else was pressing on a nerve.) Like you, I have experienced many aches and pains as I became a valet at age 42 and worked for over 20 years. And every ache I had was relieved with stretching. I find that crossing your legs when touching your toes, relieved my hip pain that I used to have. We call it muscle imbalances, muscle weakness and muscle tightness. Before every water exercise in our book, Sander states, "to relax, stretch and strengthen, the tense, tight and weak muscles surrounding your shoulder joint, etc. BTW, I have been working on the squat. Years ago getting into it, by holding on to a bar by a pool, helped me overcome an ankle problem that I had for two years!! I still cannot get down without holding on to something. It is hard for me to hold the position for longer than three minutes, that is why I still cannot do it without holding something. BTW, our book was recommended in a medical journal in Great Britain called, Rheumatology And Rehabilitation. Even though it was recommended by many others the status quo never changed as arthritis and chronic pain are still multi billion dollar businesses for the drug companies and orthopedic surgeons.
Your methods have definitely made me reconsider seeing a surgeon. I’m going to give it a year of doing exercises.
Imo surgeons are selling surgeries. I was told that I needed hip surgery several years ago and almost fell for it. My pain from stage 3 arthritis was terrible, but found an amazing Dr who treated me for ilopsoas tendonitis and amazingly all the pain went. Of course the stretches and exercises have to be done on a regular basis or the pain returns. I highly recommend trying this. Best wishes for all
I had a hip replacement due to excruciating pain and disability to raise my foot. I was asked my my internist if I felt it was absolutely necessary. IF I'd been offered a solution I would've taken it as now I can't ride a horse do baseboards and have lost much muscle on that side. Now the other side is giving me problems 6 years later. I won't replace another hip, knee, NOTHING!!! I'm doing your prescribed exercises, more plant based eating and I'm keeping what I've got from here on!!!
Thank you. I was told to get the surgery. The doctor did not tell me much. Just get surgery. They make lots of money. Thanks for your clear advice
I started researching THR and found that 30% have more pain after THR.
I'm surprised you were told not to move your hip joint because you had arthritis. My understanding is that exercising the arthritic joint is good for osteoarthritis.
Have been teaching yoga now for over 25 years. This gentleman is truly special in his approach to a self responsible approach. My experience is that few people are willing to adopt a regular dedicated practice. The few that do, experience a life virtually free of pain, and have great mobility.
I have had one hip replacement already. Now the other hip is causing a problem. I can't walk much at all without a walker. Same as last time. My doctor thinks it is my back. Went today for a MRI on my back. My back does ache bad. I do not have a lot of pain in the hip but can not function...walk, put on socks and shoes
That blows my mind. I’m 65 now and a life long athlete. Always had some hip pain on the left side and attributed that to running hurdles in high school.
Having one leg shorter and compensating for it would surely bring more pain eventually as well as causing other damage. Great video!
I really enjoyed your info. I was told I needed hip replacement in 2013. I have done everything I can to avoid it as I deem surgery as an unnecessary trauma on the body. I worked with a naturopath doc who put me on a big cleanse where I have uncovered some digestive issues. I have changed my diet to include high levels of collagen found in Ham hocks. Sounds weird but my body health has improved. During the time of my healing I didn’t move much and that has affected me. I knew I need to exercise but dint know what to do. I have registered with your office and will be in touch soon. I think the lack of exercise affected my fascia and Bowen therapy is really helping a lot. My leg is shorter on the side I was told I needed the hip operation. I was also a vegan and a vegetarian for quite a few years and I think this affected my bones.I feel very good now and just want to get back to full body motion so I can ride my horses.
I am 53 and going through treatment for AVN and it came out of nowhere. I also have arthritis in my lower lumbar region. The constant interplay between the hip joint and the back is frustrating. After a year of NSAID's and Fosamax, I have shown bone growth at the femoral head, and I feel much less pain, but it is far from recovered. I can ride my mountain bike aggressively, but standing for durations, running, and walks over 1/2 mile are tough. My psoas fires up when the hip gets fatigued. The joint was not in collapse, so I am glad I was in pain and went to get it checked out. I have really worked on my core strength and lost some weight. I really hoping to keep trending positive, but feel the Orthopod is going to say this is as good as it gets. I can't stay on the meds forever, and I was told I could have another AVN event when off of them. I have been able to cut the anti-inflammatory dose to once per day, so that is positive.
I'm 62 yr old female dx'd w AVN rit hip. This was a God appointed post for me to listen to. Thank you for posting it and giving me a different perspective and thanks to "hippy" for sharing her story. Fact is stranger than fiction. Especially what will cause someone pain and what does not.
Thank you for a thoughtful video. I have been blessed with a surgeon who replaced both my hips, nearly ten years between successes, and who was concerned about both pain and function. I think the decision should be up to the well informed patient if the bone damage and loss of function is as severe as you describe, even without pain. We should be able to choose surgery to improve our quality of life as well as to end pain.
I'm with you in taking a practical approach. The surgeons that only repair the hip when therre was pain seemed to more likely be covering their behinds rather than addressing the base problem. If the hip is severely damaged then the possiblity of future pain and problems will always exist. Where as If the hip is replaced by a highly skilled surgeon, although there is a small risk of problems related to surgery, fixing the hip problem addresses all future problems. And if someone is of an advanced age where surgery itself involves risk as years progress then sooner the better.
