Disease description:
I have always had osteoporosis, and recently I don't know why, both hip joints have started to hurt. Please advise, what should I do about hip joint pain associated with osteoporosis?

For bilateral hip joint pain caused by osteoporosis, the treatment methods mainly include the following aspects:
1. **Medication**: Taking anti-osteoporosis medications, such as salmon calcitonin, sex hormones, etc., to slow down the progression of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates, such as zoledronic acid, pamidronate disodium, may be used as adjunctive therapy.
2. **Physical Therapy**: Physical therapies such as ultrashort wave therapy and extracorporeal shockwave therapy can help improve local blood circulation and reduce pain.
3. **Lifestyle Modifications**: Getting more bed rest and avoiding excessive fatigue to prevent worsening of the condition. Maintaining a balanced diet and appropriately consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as milk, shrimp shells, etc.
4. **Surgical Treatment**: If the condition is severe, surgical intervention may be considered, such as hip joint replacement surgery.
It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and choose an appropriate treatment method based on the physician's advice, in order to alleviate bilateral hip joint pain caused by osteoporosis.
