Did they figure out what's wrong yet? If you knew what it was, a drug could be prescribed for that particular thing.

There are different medications for different things. I'd talk to your doctor and see what he thinks.

I take Tramadol (Ultram). I have survived two hip replacements on Tramadol and Tylenol--the only safe-for-ITP pain killers that I can tolerate. (I can't tolerate opiates.) Tramadol is fairly strong, but isn't supposed to be habit-forming. I know other people who take it too. It has been very helpful for me. I've never suffered from any of the possible side-effects--that I know of, anyway.

Oops, Amber, I had knee replacements, not hip replacements. BUT I have had hip pain too, and Tramadol has helped me with all kinds of pain.

Best to you,
