What is the the best otc medication for moderate to severe pain of the hip? i have fractured both hips and have hip screws in both.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin: either is fine. sometimes Motrin can cause stomach upset so take with food. might be worth seeing at therapist or your doctor; ie is your pain related to a muscular imbalance or something not bone related that can be modified.
