Hip pain directly on hip bone

I don't know how long you've had hip pain. I'll relate my experience FYI. In 2019 I developed hip pain that made walking difficult. I saw an orthopedic I had been to before for knee problems. He also was an experienced hip doc. He told me My spine was the cause of my hip pain. I ended up with spine surgery from T10 to L5. I still had hip pain. This was five years ago, I was 68. With Covid's help I finally ended up in agony for about two years before I found another hip doc who showed me on the imaging why I could barely walk. That was Nov 2021, I was scheduled for a replacement Jan 2022. I was using a cain by now. A week before my surgery the hospital closed to elective surgery. I got the new hip March 23, 2022. I was living in excruciating pain for months. Even with Oxycodone I was in Hell. As soon as I awoke from anesthesia I knew it was good. A few hours later when I got home I was able to walk up the steps to my second floor. When I find myself at the orthopedic these days I hear the same stories from people about being in terrible pain that keeps getting worse but won't get the surgery. Well it won't go away by itself. And when you try to make an appointment you'll have to wait (maybe a long time for a good surgeon), while the pain just intensifies. I see a handful of people in church hobble on bad knees for 20 years or more. They get injections and do PT and they keep getting worse and tell me they're afraid to have surgery. There's also a few brave ladies in their 90's who had hips and knees replaced and walked pain free for many years. The pain just keeps getting worse.
