I have hip pain which I assume is arthritis. I haven't consulted a doctor yet, and I'm treating myself by taking ibuprofen as and when required. It's better than paracetamol etc as it has anti inflammatory properties. I make sure that I take it with food.

Have had pain on and off in my hips since I was about 20,Have had this pain now for around 3 weeks,given painkillers but only took them once as they made me feel spaced out.Just taking a Anadin or paracetamol.Whats bothering me is I am sweating when I try and do anything energetic,housework stuff.
I also have a cough. Have googled my symptoms,osteomyalgia seems to fit the bill.
It sounds quite serious,and am worried,I will go back to the Doctor. Would appreciate any advice.
