Hi everyone! I need a little help or advice. I have had an aching hip for around a month now. A couple of wks ago, the Rheumy gave me a cort shot, but it is steadily getting worse. Last night I was in tears.

It feels better in the morning, but as soon as I move around throughout the day, it really hurts alot. The pain is mainly in the hip area, but seems to radiate around the area a little. I have Tramadol, which tends to constipate, and Darvocet, which makes me tired.

Should I call the Rheumy and tell him about the pain? To me, it sounds like Bursitis/Tendonitis. Anyone have any ideas as to how long this pain in the HIP will last? I can't do anything or it aggravates it immensely.

Thanks for any input! I am so frustrated!!!!
