So I was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right hip. I was basically told I have no more cartilage left and the best thing for me to do is just to "manage" the pain with Lidocaine patches and Tylenol. I have another appointment with the same doctor next week to hopefully get some stronger medication or at least to get a cortisone shot hoping inflammation and pain will go down. I will, however, want to get a second opinion on my condition and I'm hoping maybe there are some procedures out there that can help me get back to an active lifestyle. As of right now I'm not suppose to be doing any high impact activities (running, jumping). Anyone have any good recommendations on orthopedic doctors?
