... This occurred several weeks after my doctor doubled my dose of methitest. My questions are:
Why would only the hip joints be affected?
Is this pain significant; should I report it to the doctor?
Will the pain subside?
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Jan-suncityaz,
Methitest can cause bone and muscle pain. I am not sure why only the hip joints would be affected in your case. I encourage you to talk to your doctor as soon as posible. The long term use of methitest can be life changing. I don't know how old you are and why you are taking this medication, but I do believe you need to let your doctor know your symptoms.
Sorry no one answered you sooner,
Laurie
