Help Need Help With med speak

Hi all!

I had some X Rays of my right hip, and right knee the other day, and just got the results. The doctor was a bit rushed and tried the best he could to put it in terminology I would understand, but alas I came away with more questions than answers LOL.

Was wondering if anyone here could be of help to me, and put this in some language I can understand.

Quote:
Report: Right hip
There is a larger spur in the superolateral aspect of the acetabulum on the right side without evidence of fracture, dislocation or narrowing of the joint. No soft tissue abnormality.

Summary:
Early hypertrophic change in the superolateral aspect of the acetabulum on the right side; no acute abnormality.

Report: Right knee
There is slight increase in prominence of the intercondylar spines of the tibial plateau associated with irregularity of the posterior patella. No narrowing or cartilaginous calcification.

Summary:
Early anterior and middle compartmental degenerative disease of the right knee.
This is in the RSD leg, and when I was complaining about deep bone pain in the hip and knee is when he ordered the x rays. It doesnt sound real bad, but does sound like the beginings of something that could get worse.

Sure hope someone around here can explain what all this means for me.
