I am planning my surgery outside of US (still working on visa), and I got X-ray done today and I am in great fear after seeing the result of X-ray, I had got X-ray for tibia as well as femur and the femur X-ray says 'osteoarthritis noted on both hip joints' (tibia X-ray no note, all good) - I am wondering what that means, I don't have any hip problem/pain, only 2 weeks back I had hurt a muscle on right hip while doing stretching (for LL) , that's it, and I am recovering form that, but other than that I have never experienced any problem I am 35, healthy, not fat - so how can I have osteoarthritis ?! also, does it mean I cannot do LL? my whole LL plan has gone out of the window now and this osteoarthritis thing is on top of my mind now, what should I do? Note: I have not sent the result to Dr. yet because I am thinking if I really have osteoarthritis then should I check with the US surgeons if this osteoarthritis along with LL can be resolved with my US medical insurance? because I have only like $80k saved for LL and I do not have enough money to spend osteoarthritis and LL together from pocket without insurance paying some of it. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I did some research and it seems it may not be as big an issue , originally I was freaked out, now am a little calmer.
