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.
