try using Homeopathic Rhus Tox - it heals joint pain (mostly knees and hips) - take the 200 strength (4 pellets each time) every 15 mins the first hour, then every 1/2 hour, then every hour. for at least 5 doses and see if you get ANY relief. If you do, keep taking it 2x a day. Research it - Homeopathics are frequencies that heal if you get the right one for the right symptom (2200 of them for all sorts of health issues). It worked on my hip, and both of my sisters hips. Its available in health food stores and on amazon.
