I get this, particlarly with cold or wet weather and same as you - I can't stay in bed because the ache is quite strong, but it dissipates quickly with walking around. Two other things I've found that help are: 1) heating pad and 2) stretching the hips. I have problems from L2 through S1. My hips and SI joints have been x-rayed and are apparently find with only minimal findings - so it must be from my back. Oh yes - I take 100 mg of amitryptiline at night - otherwise I'd wake up all night long due to back/hip/leg symptoms. This really helps me to sleep well. I've tried lower dosages but they're not enough for me. Don't know whether it would help you, too!?
