[|Human|] i have been diagnosed with hip arthritis. I have no pain in the joint but my outer leg(where trocanter(sic) bone is hurts and I can hear a tendon snapping over it? also, my SI joint seems to bother me. Is there anything I can do short of a THR or resurfacing?
[|AI|]  Hi You have been diagnosed as having hip arthritis and are having pain in trochanteric region and SI joint. In my opinion the treatment of Hip arthritis depends on pain and difficulty you have an activity of daily living. If you are able to carry out these activities comfortably then you can wait for Total Hip Replacement. Apart from painkillers(to be taken only for short duration), Total Hip Replacement is the only answer.
