Usually, osteoarthritis is the cause for degenerative hip joints. However the problem of “degenerative” hip joints may actually be a necrotizing process, resulting from a lack of blood flow to the affected area. Joint pain and difficulty with ambulation are symptoms of both conditions. Treatment options for an individual with degenerative hip joints may involve the use of medication or in severe cases surgical replacement of the joint. However, medication is usually of little use in treating necrosis of the hip, except as palliative pain relief. If an individual is diagnosed with hip necrosis, surgical hip replacement will be required to resolve the problems with pain and ambulation. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of degenerative hip joints?
