Hi pain
Good morning and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to that you are in pain, is it all the time, lying down, moving or remaining in one position for a while? I used to find that lying down and/or remain in one position often used to bring me pain and getting up, changing postion used to help. The only medication that worked for me was Co-Codamol (30/500) and Naproxen.
Agree with Bcol, my most comfortable position is flat on my back with my knees bent - preferably on something soft - I like to lie on my foam Pilates mat. Pilates helps a lot, I’ve got a very good experienced teacher. I’ve found over the years that keeping moving gently helps me most
Same painkillers as Bcol too too Co- Codamol has worked for me and I recently fell backwards and landed on my tailbone on top of already painful hips - agony doesn’t even start to describe it. I was prescribed physiotherapy and given Tramadol three times a day for five days - the tramadol worked amazingly well. I couldn’t believe it.
I also use Nordic walking poles when I walk and that takes a lot of pressure off my hips and lower back. I started that with a six week group training course and just walk with my husband now I know how to do it.
My mom has horrible and I mean horrible hip pain and I purchased Australian dream cream its expensive but she says it actually works for her and I use it for psoriatic arthritis pains in ankle and it works for me to … consistency is key. Check out Amazon
Thanks will have a look for it. I would sell one of my kidneys for something that works.

😂 I absolutely feel like this.
Does this work for deep pain, or just surface pain? Thanks
Wow! Thanks for your generous time. Feel good.
