Dealing with Chronic Hip Pain: Seeking Advice

I have osteoarthritis in both hips and need double hip replacement.. in horrible pain all the time

I have it in my hands, I use compression gloves.. as seen on tv! They help a lot. My md prescribed gabapentin but I've heard negative things about it they outweigh the positive. Hands hurt most when I'm driving texting, or gaming. So I stop when they hurt.

I got hit on the drivers side of my car last year. Since then it's been radiating leg pain from what I think is the sciatic nerve. Doctors have yet to confirm but gabapentin helps with pain. It targets nerve pain specifically and stops signals so if there isn't a physical reason, nerve pain might be a new avenue to look into. Twisted bones can also put more strains on muscle than they normally would. Muscle relaxers and physical therapy exercises can help

✋same here ...I don't have any diagnosis... have to use steroids injection that release the pain for a year .I don't want to do that any more.
