I've got a bad hip. I second the recommendation of taking glucosamine/chondroitin. It's the only natural drug that's been shown to help. It doesn't help everyone. It worked for me & my mom, but not a girlfriend. Still, it's worth a shot.

Two drawbacks: First if you're allergic to shellfish you can't take the chondroitin. And you really need to take them together for maximum benefit. Second, it can take months before it kicks in.

I'm sure your doc will give you good advice.

Hope you feel better.
