@nedster I have osteoarthritis in both my hips i am currently taking tramadol(at night)/cocodamol during day along with naproxen. However, i started using a gel you apply directly to the joint that's affected, and it is drug free. It's called FlexiSeq max. I found its really helped me rest better at night taking away some of the discomfort. This may help you as you can't use anti inflammatory. Heat also helps alot!
