Actonel and joint pain and stiffness

I've taken Actonel 35 mg for about 2 years. I've stopped taking it. I have developed severe hip joint pain and stiffness. It has gotten progressively worse. First the hip tendons seemed to hurt and weaken, severe sharp shooting pain upon some movements. I have times where I injured the hip from simple things, like digging in the garden with a shovel. I am 52, am/was very active. Had breast cancer so the doctors keep testing for cancer in the hip, it's not there. X-ray show arthritis-type changes. The pain is getting worse, so I'm looking for doctors/treatment to help, stop, or reverse this hip pain. Actonel mentions joint/hip pain in the side-effects, anyone else have these problems?
