Hip replacement surgery is not an option right now, but walking is getting to be fairly painful. I have tried taking an anti-inflammatory before going shopping but it doesn't appear to help much anymore. Is there anything else that can be done prior to shopping or a day out that will help?

Give serious consideration to using crutches all the time. A cane is fine but really canes weren't designed to take weight off a painful leg - they were designed to steady your gait. And, if you rely on a cane, the constant pressure may cause problems with your hand or wrist. That's why a pair of good forearm crutches are your best bet.
I have both hips replaced and spent several years taking NSAIDS. They worked for awhile. The best way to take them is to take them every day instead of "popping" them when you think you are going to have to walk. My drug of choice was Aleve and I took (on doctor's advice) double the OTC dose twice a day. It really helped. NSAIDS taken on a daily basis are not without possible side effects so it is important to consult with your doctor before you begin such a regimen. However, it worked for me for a very long time.
PS: are you eligible to have PAO (peri-acetabular osteotomy) surgery to treat your dysplasia? If so, it is doubly important to use the crutches until you have your surgery.

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

i have had that problem ever since i was pregnant with my son 4 yrs ago. when i was just pregnant with my daughter the obgyn said there is nothing you can do about the pain (just know i switch obgyn's in my 7th month...). what i reccomend is which ever side is giving you pain- stay off it. walk carefully (i almost fell to the floor several times pregnant or not). when u walk, expect it to just start hurting out of nowhere. sit with a pillow behind your lower back. that's all i can think of that might help. when you sleep lay on your left side and put a pillow between your legs so your hips aren't crooked from your leg hangning down. it should help a little...might not solve the probelm. hang in there you're almost done! the pain may not go away completely but after the baby is born it should be reduced a lot.

You may find relief by consulting with a physical therapist at a gym. They should be able to plan an excercise regime to strengnthen the muscles of your legs and back to take some of the strain off your hip joints. A reputable facility will have personel that will observe you as you excercise to be sure you are doing it correctly. Also, increasing your muscle strength now will aid you in a faster recovery once you do have the surgery.

A natural approach is by using a product called GDU by Daniel Chapter One. I can attest to its effectiveness. It is a natural anti-inflamatory. I take 6 capsules on an empty stomach for pain. Don't eat for 30 minutes after taking capsules. Don't be afraid to take more if you think you need to. It won't hurt you. Get their simple guide book.
Check their web site for a local store or order direct from them.
