Diagnosis:

Arthritis is a condition in which the joints become inflamed, it can develop in one joint or many joints in the body. There are multiple forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis which develops due to age and wear and tear on the joint and autoimmune arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or systemic lupus erythematosus. Arthritis in the hip may also be a sign of chronic inflammation of the spine; specifically where the spine meets at the pelvic bone referred to as anklosing spondylitis. Sufferers of hip arthritis typically complain of difficulty getting around, a dull ache, pain, or stiffness in the hip region.
