question: Hi, I have been having pain around my( right) knee up my thigh stopping at the hip. Xray done on knee and hip. Was told that my knee is fine but cartlidge is bone on bone in the hip. It appears to me that this pain is in my joints, when I touch my knee or run my hands up my thigh, it is painful upon pressing the areas. When I sit for a long period of time, it is difficult to stand or take that 1st step. I am 61 years of age and only weigh 140 pounds. Also this pain is interfering with my sleep.
