When it comes to arthritis, most of us think about the knee. But hip arthritis, though less common, can be equally—if not more—debilitating. The hip joint plays a vital role in our daily mobility, and when pain and stiffness set in, life itself feels restricted.
At Kossin Care, Bangalore, we recently met Mr. Samar Kumar, a 59-year-old gentleman, who was going through this exact struggle. An active, outdoor-loving person, he began experiencing persistent pain in his left hip. What started as mild discomfort gradually worsened over time, turning into excruciating pain that affected his ability to sit, squat, walk, or even sleep peacefully.
Everyday tasks became challenging, and his once active lifestyle was reduced to staying indoors. The loss of mobility took a toll not only on his body but also on his emotional well-being. After multiple consultations with different doctors, he came to us for help.
On evaluation, he was diagnosed with advanced osteoarthritis of the hip—a condition caused by wear and tear of the joint due to age and years of physical activity. In such advanced stages, conservative treatments no longer provide relief, and Total Hip Replacement (THR) remains the best option to restore mobility and eliminate pain.
Mr. Kumar courageously opted for surgery. Post-operatively, his recovery was remarkable—he was able to walk the very next day, pain-free and with a smile. For someone who had been living with constant pain, this was nothing short of life-changing.

Key Takeaway
Life is mobility. When mobility is compromised, even our own body feels like a burden.
Early consultation is crucial. Do not ignore persistent joint pain—timely advice and preventive care can delay progression.
Advanced arthritis has solutions. With modern surgical techniques like Total Hip Replacement, patients can regain independence and return to a pain-free, active life.
At Kossin Care, we believe in not just treating the condition but also restoring quality of life. Take care of your joints, seek expert advice early, and keep moving—because mobility is life.
