I have not seen the doctor but am considering it. During the day I can get on with all activities, work garden dog walking dancing etc. But when I go to bed my hip hurts like crazy and some nights get no sleep, unless i get up and take pain killers. Is this the begining of something like old age? any oneout there who can help me?

Well something is going on ! Best to see your GP don't you think ?

. Its horrible when the things you used to do without problems start to bother you .

Good luck

I know how you feel , I used to be able to do all the things you have mentioned with out effort but now even if I try for a short while I am in agony for the rest of the day ,pain killers do hardly anything so now I avoid doing all the things I used to love so as not to be in so much pain.You should go to gp and get some help before you get any worse not that they can do anything for arthritis ,sorry to sound so negative but that's the way it makes you feel ,hope you don't have arthritis wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy x
