I'm having that right now. I overdid for Thanksgiving and got so I could hardly walk. The pain is really sharp...like those "electrical" pains we've talked about. My doctor thinks it is spinal stenosis but I don't because is moves. It will be in one hip for days and then switch.
I've been taking a half a Vicodin to help me walk, along with using my cane and taking things easier. I'm getting better doing this and yesterday I didn't need the cane anymore. So, take it easy and, if you can take ibuprofen with food, that will help. That's what I used to do. I can't take NSAID's now so I use the Vicodin with this type of pain.
