1. Hip Pain at Night? It Might Be Time to Consider Hip Replacement By Dr-Mohammad-Ashfaq / September 13, 2025 Do you find yourself tossing and turning at night because of hip pain? When discomfort follows you to bed and keeps you awake despite medication, it’s more than just an inconvenience—it could be a sign of advanced joint deterioration. In Dubai, British-trained orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq Konchwalla specializes in diagnosing and treating severe hip arthritis. For many patients, persistent hip pain at night signals that it may be time to explore hip replacement surgery in Dubai. Why Hip Pain at Night Matters Nighttime hip pain is not just about sleep disruption—it’s often a red flag. Pain at rest often indicates advanced joint deterioration, which means conservative treatments may no longer be effective. Patients often describe: Inability to sleep on the affected side Waking up multiple times at night Pain radiating to the groin, thigh, or even knee Relief only when sitting upright

2. When hip pain keeps you awake at night despite medication, it’s time to discuss surgical options. Common Causes of Nighttime Hip Pain Several conditions can trigger nocturnal hip pain: Advanced Osteoarthritis – Bone-on-bone arthritis causes persistent inflammation. Rheumatoid Arthritis – Autoimmune inflammation leading to joint destruction. Avascular Necrosis – Poor blood supply causing bone collapse. Labral Tears or Impingement – Structural issues that worsen with rest positions. Signs You May Need a Hip Replacement Wondering when to consider hip replacement? Look out for these indicators: Pain persists even at rest or during sleep Difficulty putting on socks and shoes due to stiffness Limited range of motion affecting daily tasks X-rays show bone-on-bone arthritis Non-surgical treatments (medications, injections, physical therapy) no longer help Pain impacts walking, climbing stairs, and sitting comfortably

3. Why Pain at Rest Is a Critical Warning Daytime hip pain often comes and goes with activity. But night hip pain and sleep disruption suggest the joint is severely deteriorated. In fact, specialists agree: “Nocturnal hip pain is one of the strongest indicators for hip replacement surgery.” How Hip Pain Affects Sleep Patients with severe hip arthritis often say: “I can’t sleep on my side anymore.” “I wake up every 2 hours because of pain.” “Even pillows and position changes don’t help.” Chronic sleep loss not only worsens fatigue but also slows healing, increases stress, and affects quality of life. When Non-Surgical Treatments Stop Working Doctors usually begin with conservative measures like: Medications (NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections) Physical therapy

4. Lifestyle changes & weight management Pillow support for sleep If these options fail, and multimodal pain management no longer brings relief, hip replacement is often the next step.
