Yes, hips are toast with osified (sp) bone. Spine has spurs that are jutting out into both nerves and muscle. I haven't tossed out the narcotics as I'm pretty addicted. I have not stopped the pain but its no longer triggering the AD. I don't know if it will last but I'm enjoying it while I can.

Maybe you just get sore getting up, or maybe your getting pain from an injury you don’t know about. Hips can get lots of different types of injuries. I had a butt sore under my skin and never knew it until I had an MRI on my hip. It showed a big fluid filled area although it never broke through. I was having problems with spasms while sitting up. Hopefully Lyrica will solve your problem. It’s better than other pain meds. Greg ________________________________ I have heard several people including myself talk about profuse sweating and shaking when getting in the chair. I have taken so many pain meds to control it but never resulting in more than a few hours of relief. I just began taking a strong dose of Lyrica and it seems to be the key for me. I'm backing down the narcotics and it has only been a week but DAMN. I take 1 in the morning and I don't sweat or feel the presure that starts AD. I have not had a day without sweating and shaking for over nine years. I feel like I might have a life again. (knock on wood) We are all different and I know many of us have problems that it won't help. I will let y'all know if it stops working. It has been so long since I have felt this good. I want to goto the park and watch lovers and throw stale bread at the birds again. (I feel like I could really nail one, maybe even a lover.) I really wish you all the very best, john
