Dale,
Used it at night only for the whatever night/a.m. hours pain was made worse by lying still. I used it for support. Once up and about moving around the pain was markedly reduced to almost nil. I am not sure if I took my pain med today because I started off the day getting up an hour later and some other things seem to just pile on so have noticed when I'm resting the pain isn't bad but it's there in the left hip. When moving around/walking/standing/doing whatever it feels better. Have been pretty active so am not complaining at all.
Need to get out for my walk and Lola's walks again. No cane necessary
