Fellow Sufferers:

Buy the HOMEDICS THERAPIST SELECT PERCUSSION HAND-HELD MASSAGER, MODEL PA-5H! ($39.99 at Rite Aide). I've had MP for years and this is the answer!!! I use it every other day on the hip/thigh area (you can tell when you hit the right spots). You won't need meds anymore!

Good luck to all. I searched out forums to share this info.
