There are also some supplements that can help. Many studies now show that omega 3 fatty acids can help with the inflammation associated with arthritis as well as over the counter anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen. It also has many other health benefits.

Another supplement that has anti-inflammatory benefits is tumeric.

On the exercise side of the issue, warm water exercise is great for people with arthritis of the hip. This allows you exercise and strengthen the muscles around the hip joint with out putting stress on the joint. Exercise is very important to everyone with arthritis.

There is a surgery, i dont remember the name off the top of my head, but what they do is they take small sample of cartilage from your knee...grow more of it in a lab and then replace the damaged or missing carilage in your hip. Talk to your doctor about it.

The first line of treatment of hip arthritis includes activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, hip injections, and weight loss. Giving up activities that make the pain worse may make this condition bearable for some people. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen,naprosyn and the newer Cox-2 inhibitors help alleviate the inflammation that may be contributing to the pain. Furthermore, studies have shown that walking with a cane in your opposite hand significantly decreases the forces across the hip joint. Finally, weight loss helps decrease the force that goes across the hip joint.

A combination of these non-operative measures may help ease the pain and disability caused by hip arthritis

NSAIDS work well, advil,aleve,etc.. You need to consult a orthopedic doctor. There are different treatments. Hope you get relief soon!

My dad broke his hip two years ago, and has the same problem.
He eats a diet high in antioxidants and drinks a juice that contains glucosamine. He gave it about a month and it has worked out great for him!!! He was taking ibuprofen that was helping but it started to bother his stomach.
