Could my husband's hip pain be caused by arthritis?

My husband works in construction, so he spends long hours standing, climbing ladders and carrying heavy materials. Lately, he has been experiencing stiffness and pain around his hip, especially after a full day at work. He sometimes struggles to get up after sitting for a while. Could this be a sign of hip arthritis? What tests can help confirm it, and what treatments are available before surgery becomes necessary?

My husband went through something similar. He's on his feet a lot at work and often carries heavy things, so we initially thought his hip pain was just from overworking. But the stiffness and groin pain kept coming back, especially after a long day. We eventually saw Dr Alan Cheung and found out he had hip arthritis. Thankfully, physiotherapy and medication helped manage his pain, and he didn't need surgery. Not all hip problems need surgery, so I'd suggest getting your husband checked first to find out what's causing the pain and what treatment might help.
