I have mets to bones and experienced what I thought was muscle pain for about 3 mos prior to dx. It was pretty severe and continued for too long to be only muscle related (I now realize). I also have arthritis pain in my hips that I've had for 7-8 yrs. It comes and goes, and I'm going back on glucosamine for that. Moderate exercise also helps, as does diet. As I understand it, over the counter pain relievers ultimately fail to control pain resulting from bone mets. Hope this helps a little!
