My mother aged 76 is having slip disc near her hip. She has a terrible hip pain. She is suffering from acute Rheumatoid arthritis past several years. She has high BP and palpitation problem. We took x-ray last month and was diagnosed that she has slip disc on her hip. We do not want to get into surgery looking at her age and other multiple reasons she has. Her bones are brittle. At this juncture, what best we can do to reduce the pain. She wears a hip belt and takes dolo650 daily at night which helps little. Please advise.

There is no such thing as slip disc on the hip. Hip is different. Slip disc happens in spine. Hip pain in your case could be due to Arthritis possibly rheumatoid arthritis. Slip disc is not disgnosed by xrays but Hip pain due to arthritis is diagnosed by xraying the hip.
