DM - I can sympathize with you on the hip pain. I am experiencing it right now. It usually happens on most days when 1)it is cold outside, 2)it is raining outside or 3)over use of the muscle by standing too long. My rheumy told me thatmine is due to RA and he has given me davocet. It works fine and doesn't make me tired, however, the pain is getting worse. I was born a breached baby and my hips were already out of place when born so this also has a lot to do with my pain. I have tried oxycodone, but the darvocet seems to work a little better at this time.

Maybe you can call and ask for some percocet, although if you get tired on darvocet you will probably be KO'd with percocet.

But please do call the doc...the pain is a killer, I know.
