2manybikes: I hadn't decided anything yet, until today. I've decided to take a week off the bike and walking (aerobic/exercise type of walking). If my hips feel better after one week I'll ease in cycling, but continue not walking for at least another week. During that time I'll take an Advil once a day or every other day as needed (I rarely take meds so a little bit goes a long way). I am also taking calcium and magnesium w/zinc now as suggested. If it continues after 3 weeks, I'll see a doctor.

Today one of my hips hurt enough to walk with a controlled limp. I have NO other symptoms of RA, no (visible) swelling or any of the other symptoms, but I'm willing to mention it as a possibility when I go to the doctor. I'm gonna hate not doing anything for a full week, but a week's rest can be a good thing when needed.
