Ann,
Since you are on the AI, do you take any form of bone health drugs, such as Actonel or Boniva?

I too experience pain in my hip area after sitting too long or on long drive. (Every since starting on the AI's)
What has offered me great help is taking CosaminDS,
and exercise, especially walking.

I was finding the hip pain in the middle of the night in bed. That stopped when I added the Cosamin.

The bone ache is 99% from the AI.
Wishing you All the best.
Jean
