What causes hip/knee pain when laying down?

Question

Whenever i am laying down or sitting down for too long my hips and legs start hurting terribly. It radiates down to my knees sometimes, and it seems like if i'm laying on my side, the hip that is up hurts, but not the other one. They pain goes away if i get up and walk around for a while. Anyone got any advice?

Answer 1

I also have pain in the topmost hip when I'm lying on my side. I find putting a cushion or pillow between my legs helps reduce the stress on that hip joint and so helps with the pain.

Answer 2

Inactivity causes pain, activity eases pain? Sounds like symptoms of Arthritis, suggest you see a Doc.
