Hi Everyone

Does anyone else get hip pain since starting peri. I especially get this at night when I am in bed..I am a side sleeper and oh those achy hips. I seem to have it worse before my period and now more so since having wacky irregular periods and worsening peri symptoms.

Am I alone in this one or does anyone else out there in peri-meno land get this ???

I am finding at this point we do get some of the weirdest symptoms and I do know joint pain is one.

Thanks again for all your help and to those who have supported me thus far. It's good to have this place to come to and know you're not alone.

Hugs

Sorry to say I have hip pain when I sit for awhile and get up again. I dont know if it is part of peri or if I'm getting arthritus. I dont want it to be the latter-but who knows? All of this is such a horrendous guessing game! I think getting older is just hazzardous to your health! HA! I want to go back to 25 and stay there!!!!!!

Hi:

I get hip pain after my period is done. I have been in two car accidents so I do have a tender back now but this hip pain is something new. I had everything checked out and nothing so I am assuming it is something with peri. Go figure. It is always something.

Yes! Hip pain here...started about 6 months ago or so and seems to be getting worse. I sleep on my right side but my left hip seems to bother me during the night and sometimes off and on during the day sometimes. I feel so out of control with a new symptom everytime I turn around with this. Until I found this site I felt so all alone - as my Mother breezed through menopause with hardly any problems that she can remember. Believe me...I WILL remember this.

Girls, let me tell you! My hip pain on both sides began at about 38. My chiropractor said frequent adjutments would help me continue running, and soon I would be able to run without pain again. Months and months of weekly adjustments did not resolve the hip pain. It got so bad I gave up trying to run regularly and moved to stairmasters and elliptical workouts. That helped. Over the years, I gave up any hope of going back to running. My hips would hurt so badly I could barely walk!

During early peri (44 yrs old) I began having muscle and joint aches and stiffness. It was so bad I went to an orthopedic surgeon to see if I had fibromyalgia or arthritis. Tests revealed nothing. Now at age 52, I realize the hip pain and subsequent aches/stiffness were signs of perimeno. I've resigned myself to just lifting weights and elliptical workouts. I'll never be a runner again.

Hi there -

I just started getting hip pain recently, and when I read this post today I thought of something that might help.

I used to work for a chiropractor, and she said that if you tend to sleep on your side, you should put a pillow between your knees, otherwise you're putting stress on your hip joints.

I also sleep on my side, and I used to be better about remembering my pillow but since I've become more restless, it's a pain to have a pillow in the way as you toss and turn...

Maybe if I find a way to help with the insomnia, I'll stay put, keep the pillow between my knees, and have less hip pain? I figure it's worth a shot.

Hi there. Sorry to hear about your hip pain, it is not nice I know for a fact. I have been suffering with hip pain off and and on for a year or more. I sleep on my right side, and I find my left hip pains terribly. But I will tell you what works for me. I went out and bought an extra pillow a nice thick firm one. When I lay down at night I place the pillow between my knees and it seems to work. I don't know whether the pillow is putting my hip back into alignment or what, but trust me, it does work for me.

I just laughed out loud with relief after reading this thread! I've been going to the docs for a week with pain in my left hip, which kind of extends down my right groin area. 2 nights ago, I couldn't sleep on my left side cause it hurt so bad to lie on the left hip.
Now I'm not nearly so worried!





Oops...meant pain down left groin area.
