Chronic Lower Back Pain And Arthritis In Right Hip
UpdatedI have chronic lower back pain and arthritis in my right hip, which causes pain that radiates into my knee. I am constantly in pain. Anyone know what my options could be?

Paddy, I am 63yrs old and suffer what appears to be the same pain as you!! It has gotten progressively worse in last 4 yrs. It starts deep in my right hip, and continues down to my knee... The pain is terrible n will stop me in the midst of anything I'm trying to do. Sometimes the pain attacks when I'm laying in bed, n I don't understand as there's no pressure on hip when laying down. This pain occurs everyday after I'm up n on legs for over an hour. The mornings are better I believe due to methadone medication @ 90mgs I take every morning about 8am. This helps until noon n then the pain begins if I walk or stand longer than 20 minutes.
I also notice lately my left knee gets very painful as well, but strangely enough only when I'm laying down... Have you found anything to help your pain, and what has your Dr diagnosed this pain to be from? I have tried acupuncture but got no relief... I recently took ex rays on hip, but waiting for diagnosis on the 28th of this month, June 2017. My primary believes it to be Arthritis. Let's keep in touch. Maybe together we can find something to help.
Unfortunately, there is no way to predict when arthritis pain may flare up, it really just tends to do it's own thing, and can vary depending on exertion, overall regular activity levels, changes in the weather, and etc.

What medications and treatments have you both tried, so far?
