I am so sorry that you are going through this - life is challenging enough all on its' own without added pain. I'm with you. I also have two bad hips - need a walker now, and sometimes a wheelchair.I took Hydrocodone years ago briefly. Our bodies may be broken and diseased, but our minds have the ability to reduce the stress of being in pain - this is my focus now. I still do this and that if I think it might help. For instance I have an appt at a pain clinic for the 1st time soon! Long painful car ride (can't drive anymore); I'm a bit sceptical at this point.

@haarvee Im surprised you have not considered a hip replacement on either side by now. Unless it is bursitis you have, for which a hip replacement would do you no good.
However, you should consider cortisone shots in the hip by a really good orthopedic surgeon who has been doing that for a while. Then, you can consider radio frequency ablation to help reduce or eliminate the pain signals going to the brain, I spoke to my pain management injection specialist about the RFA for hips and he said it would work just fine.
