I am having some pertty serious pain in my left hip joint, this is the second time in the last few weeks, the first time I worked it out with rest, exercise, some hot tub sitting etc... but it has really got hold of me today. I don't have anything but ibuprofen,(which does not even begin to help) And if I go to the doctor tomorrow, what kind of pain med. are OK to take. I am taking only small doses of Benadryl. In the past I have taken tylenol #3 and Vicodin, both not very effective for low back pain. So what should I look out for if the doc writes me a prescrip for some kind of pain relief? What is OK for pwp to take for joint pain? What have you used that was effective without causing any serious side effects? Thanks Lanier Maddux 63/2/1 N4AG Chattanooga, (choo-choo town) Tenn.
