Whats a easy way to get to sleep with a swollen hip? Nothing i have on hand is working and im sleeping on the floor till friday night. Can something act like a heating pad? that works the best for pain but i didnt bring it.

A water bed or an air mattress will take the pressure off your hip. Putting lots of pillows under the painful areas may also work.

Putting a pillow between your legs is good, and ly on the good side :) hope its better soon :)

If you can get to the store, they have those new one time use heat things that you stick to your sore spot. I'm not sure what they're called. You get a few of them in a box. There's always stuff like Icy Hot that you can put on it, also. The pillow between the knees trick is also a good thing, too, if you're a side sleeper.

I agree with the others, Wash. I always have to have PLENTY of padding (pillows) around that sore area, and I use ice packs and heat (a wet hand towel in a storage size baggie), heated to warm in a microwave. That helps me sometimes.
