Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As mentioned the symptoms due to the OA of one side, the other side was taking weight more during the gait. So now, both legs are giving equal pain. Taking an MRI or CT will help understand the soft tissue status. Post which with simple painkillers and physical therapy you should get maximum benefit. In my clinical practice, I see OA and recommend them physical therapy. They respond well and get 99% of benefits. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
