Coxoarthrosis - another name for degenerative-dystrophic disease of the hip joint - is caused by the destruction of cartilage. The disease develops slowly, but you should not have any illusions in the hope of being able to cure the disease later. Arthrosis continuously progresses and causes serious limitation of joint mobility . However, it is possible to stop and even reverse the disease! Doctors at the clinic of Professor Oleg Savyak achieve success in more than 90% of cases without joint replacement.
Features of the course of the disease and distinctive features.
In terms of frequency of occurrence, coxarthrosis (arthrosis of the hip joint) ranks second among all degenerative joint diseases. It is difficult, with the patient losing the ability to work and becoming disabled in the absence of timely treatment. Like any other, it has a chronic course, with gradual progression. At the same time, specialists are most often turned to when conservative therapy alone may be ineffective. That is why knowledge of this problem and the use of prevention opportunities is important to prevent an increase in the number of patients with this pathology.

Ointments and warming
How to treat the hip joint most effectively with folk remedies?
Homemade ointments have long been used to treat sore joints.
The best results can be achieved with an ointment using 50 g of mustard powder and 50 ml of camphor oil. In addition, you need to add 100 g of alcohol and 3 egg whites. The oil is dissolved in alcohol, mustard and whipped egg whites are added. Mix the ointment thoroughly, apply to the affected area until completely absorbed, wrap the joint with a warm cloth and go to bed.
An egg-based recipe works great for many people. You will need one chicken egg. It is placed in vinegar until completely dissolved for 10 days, after which it is shaken well, butter is added and left for another 3 days. After this, the ointment is ready.
You can use other, simpler recipes:
- pork fat is mixed with dry foot root, simmered, cooled and stored in the refrigerator;
- fresh celandine is mixed with olive oil, left for 14 days and used every day;
- Crushed celandine and yarrow mixed with Vaseline and heated in a water bath will help relieve severe pain.
Such products are used 2 times a day (or at night), rubbed into the sore spot and covered with a warm cloth. The usual course is 10 - 12 procedures. Rest 10 days and repeat again.
To warm up, use birch branches and leaves, which are steamed well, placed in a tight bag and placed on the affected area. Additionally, you need to cover yourself with a warm blanket and steam well.
Instead of birch, you can use coltsfoot or burdock leaves. Such procedures are very helpful in relieving pain. However, in case of acute inflammation of the joints, heating is prohibited!
Symptoms.
Depending on the degree of development, symptoms and their severity vary. The following stages of the disease are distinguished:
First stage of coxarthrosis
Patients may complain of periodic pain in the hip joint, usually occurring after physical activity or long walking. Already at this stage, X-ray examination reveals a decrease in the thickness of the articular cartilage and compaction of bone tissue. An ultrasound examination may show moderate thickening of the synovial membrane, signs of synovitis, and deformation of the subchondral plate of the femur. It is important to begin conservative treatment and prevent further progression of the pathology. It is necessary to establish the cause of coxarthrosis and, if possible, eliminate it. Drug therapy with anti-inflammatory drugs orally and intra-articularly, injections of hyaluronic acid, and PRP therapy are also carried out. The goal of rehabilitation measures is to unload the joint.
Second
Pain syndrome occurs during walking and exertion and persists for some time after it; restrictions on mobility in the joint (abduction, rotation) are observed. X-ray shows uneven narrowing of the joint space, the appearance of osteophytes, ultrasound diagnoses synovitis, destructive changes in the femoral head. In addition to therapy aimed at reducing synovitis and alleviating the condition in the form of oral and injectable medications, arthroscopic surgery may be recommended to restore motor function and eliminate intra-articular pathological formations (osteophytes, altered synovium, cartilage fragments).
Third stage
The pain is constant. In addition to the hip joint area, it radiates to the lumbosacral region, leg, and knee. Lameness appears. Motor activity is severely limited. X-rays can reveal a narrowing of the joint space, incongruity of the articular surfaces, changes in the head of the hip bone, subchondral cysts, and exophytes. Surgical intervention is required - endoprosthetics. If surgery is delayed or impossible, treatment is prescribed to alleviate the condition.
Is pain relief necessary?
If you suffer from coxoarthrosis, then you know what pain it causes. Unpleasant sensations increase with movement. Naturally, there is a desire to take a painkiller pill or use an ointment. But such measures are temporary. As for anti-inflammatory drugs, it makes no sense to take them for arthrosis, since this is not inflammation. All of these medications contribute to the development of the disease, creating the appearance of improvement.
We restore the natural production of periarticular fluid. This brings long-term effects.
Treatment methods for coxarthrosis.
This complex disease is treated by an orthopedic surgeon. The sooner you contact him, the greater the chances of slowing down the process. Therapy for coxarthrosis is a course, lifelong; It is recommended to see a doctor at regular intervals. If possible, the impact of provoking factors is eliminated or reduced. In this regard, lifestyle adjustments can be made. Symptomatic treatment is aimed at reducing pain symptoms, the frequency of exacerbations, and improving function. Conservative treatment is indicated at all stages. Surgical, usually from the second stage. Rehabilitation activities (physical therapy, physiotherapy, massage) accompany the treatment. Among the additional measures, at the beginning of the development of the disease, the patient is offered moderate exercise, which improves blood circulation in the hip joint and does not overload it. For example, classes in the pool, cross-country skiing. In advanced cases, it is necessary to unload the diseased joint and use additional support when walking.

Horse chestnut tincture
Horse chestnut is traditionally used by folk healers to combat joint ailments. To make a tincture from it, you need to collect a large number of plant fruits, cut them into 4 parts and fill a 2-3 liter jar with them. Then the chestnuts are filled to the top with vodka, the jar is closed with a lid, and we send it to the bright sun to infuse for 3 days. Then we transfer the jar to a dark place and let its contents stand for another 1 month. Now our chestnut tincture is ready. We use it for compresses and rubbing.
Good recipes for folk remedies are shown here:
Get the beef hooves
Take a fresh head of cabbage and carefully remove the leaves from it, rinse them thoroughly, and then coat them with natural honey.
Apply a compress to the sore joint at night. In the morning, the leaf with honey should be removed and the sore spot should be washed with warm water. The procedure should be repeated daily for 3-4 weeks. Or another way: take three medium-sized lemons, 250 grams of fresh celery root and a head of garlic. Twist all these components through a meat grinder and place in a three-liter jar. Pour the mixture with fresh boiling water, seal the jar tightly with a plastic lid and wrap it in a warm woolen blanket overnight. In the morning the broth will be ready for use. You need to drink 50 grams of the product on an empty stomach half an hour before meals. The duration of taking the mixture is a month, after which you need to take a break. And this method helped my friend: pour a kilogram of beef hooves with two liters of cold water and cook for 3-4 hours over low heat, like jellied meat. After cooling, the decoction can be consumed 200 grams daily half an hour before meals. Valentina IVANOVA, Pinsk
