Safe To Take Pain Medicines For Hip And Knee Pain When Cortisone Injection Didn't Help?
I have been experiencing hip pain for quite some time. I had an xray done, and nothing is broken. I had a cortisone injection about a month and it didn't help at all. Now my other hip is hurting and also both of my knees. Is it safe to take pain meds

hi
my advice would be a thorough examination of hip like how much are the movement at hip which can easily be found by your ability to sitt cross leg and squatting position .Is there any pain esp, at night,fever and followed by MRI if required.
most of hip disease leads to refered pain in knee.meanwhile,take ibuprofen on SOS basis.
take care
