hi,
thanks for the brief history of you.
as you mentioned you had hip replaced and also you are osteopatic I am more concerned with the hip replaced side. as it is more problem to get hurt.
also, self medicine is not advisible. Since you are 75, getting once checked and then taking medicine will be of advise. As sometimes the absorption of the drug can get disturbed due to the inflammation of the cells. Getting checked once and then taking medicine will be advisable.
with the grace of God I wish you a good health
