"Pain in the hips?"

It is possible that sleeping in an uncomfortable or unusual position could be causing the hip pain you are experiencing. It may be helpful to try adjusting your sleeping position for a few days to see if that alleviates the pain. If the pain is bothersome during the day or during your activities, you may consider taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help relieve it. You could also ask your pharmacist if taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.) would be a good option for you, depending on your medical history. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any further questions.
