I take a tumeric blend, sometimes over the counter sleep aid, nothing works that great. I do yoga, meditate, stretching.

Hi, for me besides Nsaids and Tylenol, going to the gym I used patches (Kailo) in my back. Not sure if they work for other areas.

Wow I looked up Kalio patches. I am glad they work for you. Right now I can't afford them.

Hello, Unfortunately I haven’t found anything yet that helps. I was on Sulfasalazine for inflammation gave me horrible headaches. I am doing PT but in pain afterwards. Best wishes to you.

That's great the bilateral hip replacement worked. How long was recovery? The hips work fine no stiffness or pain? How long did it take from when pain started for you to have the operation? You are the first person I know that has had this type of surgery.
