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.

i  cannot  walk  without  severe  pain  in  my  left  hip  and  my  whole  left  leg  especially  my  knees  and  my  inner  and  outer  left  thigh.  i  cannot  drive  any  longer,  way  to  painful.  my  balance  is  way  off  because  when  i  walk  alone  and  i  get  spasms  i  instantly  get  off  balance.  my  bones  seem  as  if  they  are  cracking  and  rubbing  together  when  i  move  certain  ways  and  the  pain  is  awful.  i  am  not  on  any  meds  for  arthritis  at  all,  just  exedrin  which  does  no  good.  i  have  had  hip  and  spine  exrays  and  my  dr.  says  my  left  hip  joint  is  way  worn  out  and  my  right  hip  joint  is  not  as  bad.  3  years  ago  i  had  the  first  cortasone  injection  in  my  left  hip  area  and  it  helped  a  while  and  then  a  few  months  later  i  had  another  one  and  it  didn't  last  long  at  all.  back  then  i  didn't  have  the  real  painful  symptoms  that  i  do  now.  i  have  been  going  to  a  chiropracter  for  about  3  months  now  and  the  last  time  he  adjusted  me  it  hurt  my  lower  back  alot  and  for  several  weeks  now  i  have  not  been  able  to  function  without  severe  pain.
