Much to my surprise, something I was sure was not Aspartame caused, disappeared in a little over a week. I have arthritis of the hip joints, probably from years of competitive swimming. So it was “normal” when I got hip pain — I’m 47. A couple of doctors have noticed the arthritis over the years in x-rays.
I’ve been drinking a lot of Diet Pepsi for years. I was accustomed to the dull ache in both hips, which occasional got very stiff and painful. It’s gone for the first time in two years, disappeared about 10 days after stopping drinking Diet Pepsi and I have had no hip pain at all.
