I dislike having to take medicines

Or get injections.  But when it actually helps a problem, well, better living through chemistry!

Short version: hip problem that was seriously painful at times.  Enough so that getting things done was difficult to 'I'm not doing this.'  This visit the doc did an injection and prescribed a med to take for a few days.  The injection did calm things down a lot, and if the med helps correct the problem I'll be one very happy guy.

Especially since the yard needs mowing or I'm going to find a bison grazing back there.

If your hip gets bad, don't wait...have it replaced. As a veteran of 3 hip replacements, you will be kicking yourself for not doing it sooner. Good luck with it.

Doc think's it's a condition called a trigger point in the tissue around the joint. So working from that, and it's a lot better today.

I know hips are a lot more advanced than used to be, guy at lodge had to have both done a few months apart, on his feet and walking within two days of the surgery.
