need to be visited by a specialist physician rheumatologist, senior physician or orthopedic surgeon after taking history and doing physical examination and some tests then everything will be cleared up. Apparently the joint space is obliterated

Thank you. Is the joint space obliteration too much? Want to know if this is something serious as she is travelling now and the medical expense there is quite expensive. So should she travel back soon to get treatment and will this affect her mobility?

To me X rays do not look horrible. MRI recommended to see ligamental issues. Any low back or hip issues?
