A doctor consults with a 76-year-old patient experiencing worsening right hip pain. Possible causes like osteoarthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis are discussed, with arthritis being most likely. Diagnosis includes a physical exam and X-ray. Treatment options range from weight loss, medication, and physiotherapy, with surgery as a last resort. The patient is reassured and a step-by-step plan is outlined, including follow-up after diagnostic tests.
