Weather related arthritus

Over past couple of weeks, i have had increasing pain in my right hip. To a point where it has prevented me sleeping, and has had me in tears some evenings.
No fall or bangs recently. I do have osteoporosis and did wonder if this means I might be looking at going on a waiting list of hip replacement.
Yesterday, I contacted my GP surgery and was given an appointment with a physiotherapist this morning. She confirmed that this was almost definitely entirely weather related and - (I do hope she is correct), will pass in four to six weeks. Have been given some exercises, and told not to be afraid to take strong pain killers - particularly at night.

I have had athritus for a very long time, and this is the first time have had this effect.

I have arthritis in both hips and it has definitely been worse over these last weeks. I hope it will improve soon for you Franbern and me.
