Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis or something else

I'm in my 50's and reasonably fit and healthy BUT, I fell and hurt my hip months ago. May be related or not. Last 3 weeks I've been having vv sore pains in my left hip ( fell on my right hip in summer). It used to be a lot worse when I just woke up or been sat but now it hurts when walking too. Had test for RA last year which was negative. Any thoughts? Thanks

I had achy joints before I started HRT. Since being on the patches it's much better. Are you on HRT?

Yes, been on HRT two years.
