For example, I cannot cross my legs when I sit straight in a chair. I was wondering if it might be time for me to think about getting my hips examined my an orthopedist and if you have any suggestions about what I should ask and if I need to check for beginning signs of osteoarthritis?

Avatar f tn Treatment of Osteoarthritis consists of exercise, manual therapy, lifestyle modification, medication and other interventions to alleviate pain. If these fail then you go for surgery.
