I suddenly developed pain in my left hip which I feel when I am sitting down and getting up but not while I am sitting or while I am walking. I had exerted a bit yesterday and I feel that could be the reason. There are several pain killers but I will not take them. I have fomented with hot water and am taking some homoeopathic medicines that have no side effects and they not only reduce the pain but also help in curing. While on the other hand pain killers just deaden the pain but they do not cure. Do you take pain killers?

Yes but not all the pain sometimes I just go with the pain till it subsides; I fear medicine that's the point

@Laurakemunto Doctors do not talk about such things as if those approaches are enough then what will happen to the doctors? (lol)

I'm sorry your hip hurts. I do take pain pills but try to hold off as long as I can.

Many a time home remedies is all what is required to alleviate the pain unless one has fever which could be a sign that there is an infection and for that antibiotics are prescribed.

@allknowing It hurts to exercise in the water but it also strengthens me so I do it and try to ignore my joints when they protest.

I hardly will take pain killers unless it is something serious. I don't want to depend on it all the time.

I only take pain killers if the pain is unbearable. My right knee hurt yesterday because we walked too much on Saturday, I only applied cold packs. It's fine today.

We should avoid pain killers as far as possible but doctors generously prescribe them.

@allknowing Our personal doctor is against all medications, he suggests to avoid unless it is absolutely necessary.

Of late, I'm suffering from lower back pain too. It hurts me only when I'm bending and get back to a normal position. Otherwise, it doesn't hurt much. I'm just applying pain balm when it's too painful and it gives me relief for some time. I have to check with my homoeopathy doctor tomorrow.

Doctor recommended pain killers to me when I had some severe pain . I gradually reduced to take it . As you said pain killers has side effects and not good for us. Hope your pain will be gone soon .

Those are mild pains but when it comes to pains associated with joints one needs to alleviate them in other ways

I seldom take pain killers, unless I have a really bad headache.
