Suggest Treatment For Back, Hip, And Knee Pain

My husband is been suffering from back, hip, and knee pain for about six months. He got a cortisone shot for his hip about 2 weeks ago. Everyday morning and night he hits the spa then ices the areas faithfully, takes advil, and takes it easy. Walking, even standing and putting weight on his left foot is difficult. One doctor put him on vicadin but it only took the edge off. Should he have curtain tests to determine what this could be. He did have exrays in the hip and was diagnosed with slight arthritis. He is also diabetic.

HI
Well come to HCM
If he is diabetic then first and important would be control the diabetes, instead of taking medicine for the pain he has better to control the pain with physiotherapy, and in my opinion he need to increase the threshold of his pain bearing, this is the best analgesic, rather than medicines, take care.
