After inconclusive appointments with my chemo oncologist and a radiation oncologist in the past week, we finally met with an orthopedic oncologist yesterday who gave me some answers about my hip.
Tendonitis.
Yes, a basic muscle inflammation brought on, probably, by overuse during our trip. Just as I'd wondered, but no one could tell me until yesterday.
So I'm taking three Advil at a time, three times a day for 10 days (if my stomach can stomach it). Meanwhile, I'm already feeling better, and now I can walk around the house again with my cane, as long as I don't overdo it. Ibuprofin, rest and physical therapy are the doctor's orders. I can do that!

Yay! That is some news we were hoping for. I'm so glad that things are looking up with your hip. Try to take it easy and I let us know if I can do anything!
I'm so glad it's nothing more serious! You must be relieved to finally know for sure -- although your instincts were right.
Rest up! :)
YAY! I know it sucks but it's better than what it could have been!
That's great news. I've been hoping it was something as easy to handle as that.
