starshar,
You might want to try some acupuncture. It can be wonderful for pain.

Hi Day,
4+12 yrs ago I limped into an ortho's office, was thrown into an xray
machine, then told my left hip was 'shot' and "you are going to need that hip
replaced".
I 'talked' to various lists, found a post from Brooks, and researched the
various brands. My favorite is from Bestcmo.com (off the top of my head). It's
a bit pricier than some, but has enyzmes built into the formula, so no stomach
upset. I even ignored advice not to drink coffee.
End of first bottle and I had no limp; was able to at least get around a
supermarket.
The following year, another bottle. I forget now whether I've taken 2 or 3
bottles since June of '06. In between I take Glucosamine, occasionally some
Celadrin (a bit similar to CMO, but not as potent).
I've gone through a bottle or two of collagen capsules, occasionally some
gelatin, and even a bottle of hyaluronic acid. In other words, the kitchen sink
is my protocol!
Somewhere in the past year I discovered I was able to lie on my left side
again! Not always for too long, but better than never. My hip is not back to
'normal', I occasionally get twinges and I had a flare back in June that almost
sent me back to the ortho (I have not seen him since 6/06). Just as I was ready
to break out the bottle of CMO that I have stored in the freezer, the flareup
went away,
I still do not need to take that waiting bottle yet.
My own hip is still attached---yay!
Oh, back to that first yr after the dx, I was still dealing with pain and
lameness, off and on. I had Pete Egoscue's book, Pain Free, and there were
times when I had to follow some of the 'positions' he gives in that book to let
my hips settle and realign.
CMO! I love it, swear by it!
HTH,
Sharon
I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis last year. Didn't have any pain until
about 2 months ago. I'd call it about a 4 or 5 out of 10.
Have it in both hips. I seem to recall that someone on the list had success
with cetyl myristoleate. anyone remember something about it?
