I have found that gentle walking helps my hip pain for about 2 days after and I sleep so well.But then it comes back.I can't really do much vacuuming or house work as it makes it so much worse.I have also woken up a few times crying because the pain was so intense.I now take panadol before I go to bed.I think what sets it off for me is not rolling over often enough from one hip to the other.My left hip is by far the worst though.
