When I last had X-rays on my hips in 2020, I was told there was no arthritis in them at that time, which frankly surprised me. I had X-rays done of my spine last fall after getting the DEXA showing it had progressed to osteoporosis, and at that time, there was no sign of fracture. I think, and "think" being the crucial term, that the discomfort is arthritis related or muscular from one leg being slightly longer than the other, but without having another X-ray, who knows. If it continues I'll have to find out since there are some days when the ache in that hip becomes real pain. One thing I've learned from other people who had hip replacements done is that they wish they'd had it done sooner than they did. So far, it's not keeping me from doing certain workouts or otherwise limiting my movements, but if it starts to, then I won't wait.
