It's Arthritis

That was the official diagnosis by the orthopedist who x-rayed and examined my hip today. He showed me the x-rays, of which I could not make heads nor tails, and he said something about "disc space" which I assume meant narrowing. But basically until it's painful (right now it's just irritating) I'm supposed to just do some exercises to build up the muscles around my hips. He said if it gets painful he can do a pain injection, but he doesn't like to do NSAIDS like Celebrex, etc. He says it'll be a long time before anything like surgery would need to be done to my hip. I appreciated finding out for certain what was going on in there.
