The Pain of it All

Hi, this is my first post. For yrs now I have suffered every day and night w-pain in my hips(mainly the right). I have very limited mobility in my right leg. Cannot get my shoe on that foot.  It hurts worse before and during rain, especially if it is cool.  My new Dr. put me on Actonel. This is my 3'd mo. on it.  Six days ago my pain stopped.  I have only had small little twinges since.  I worked so hard the first day with no pain that I hurt my back doing so much.  It felt like I had been set free.  I don't know if it's because the weather is warm now or if it's the meds.  Have any of you had this to happen.
