Really bad hip pain...

[babyem]

So, Ive been gettin such bad pain in my hips, Ive had to roll off the sofa and crawl over the floor. Anyone else had this and what was done about it??

Hey hun, earlier in the pregnancy I did have some hip pain, but not as bad as you are suffering at all.

When are you due to see MW coz you should mention it to her, unless it gets really bad then defo see gp.

I don't know much about spd? Have you read into that??

Do you get this more when you have had a busy day hun running about i find my hips and lower back seize up when i have settled i find it difficult to stand up and walk at the end of the day and my pelvis feels like its being crushed and pain shoots up back and down legs x

26 weeks pregnant. Team yellow too hope to find out peanuts sex on 26th march x

Im not sure when I next see the mw.. But if it carries on Im going to go to GP.

Yeah more so when I've had a busy day, but it can be when I've had a fairly easy day too. Like Ive done sod all today other than walk to the shop and I can feel it starting up again in my hips now, going down my thigh a bit.

Definitely sounds like SPD unfortunately (or Pelvic Girdle Pain as it's now known) - unfortunately around one in 5 pregnant women get this in varying degrees.

My physio gave me this leaflet: http://www.csp.org.uk/sites/files/csp/secure/acpwh-pgphp_0.pdf and it was quite useful, if not a bit scary reading about what's to come!

Unfortunately I now have crutches to help me, I don't have to use them all the time (I don't take them to my work) but at the end of the day I'm actually pretty incapacitated.

Don't mean to scare you! But get to your midwife asap, and she can refer you to physio xx

Oh my! You poor woman! You must be a real trooper! My SIL said that women sometimes have to use crutches, but didnt really think much of it.

Thankyou for the link! Will have a look now When did it start for you, and at what pont was it that it became as bad as it is now for you? x

According to my thread http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/pregnancy-chat/229456-how-spd-starts.html it started at 14 weeks. It started getting worse a couple of weeks ago and i got my crutches a week and a half ago xx

I got stuck in bed this morning, couldnt roll over, couldnt get up. When I eventually managed to, I went to the loo, (sorry if tmi) needed a poo but couldnt push it was sooo sore on my hips And to help matters a small child was plonked on me this morning when I woke up, which made it even worse.

I can sympathise with you!!! For the last couple of weeks I have been getting bad hip/lower back pain mainlyon my right side. Sometimes it will feel fine, and then it will kinda 'catch', and the pain is horrendous!!! It is generally worse at night, and having to get in and out of bed to pee all the time at the moment isn't helping matters!!! I don't really know what it is, but have put it down to the effect of hormones relaxing all the joints and ligaments....if you already have flexible joints, they are going to slip out of place more easily!! Ouch!!! xx

 

[babyem]

I mainly get it on my left side! How strange!
I am fairly flexible anyway because of dancing when younger and gymnastics. I've got myself a GP appointment for tomorrow morning, so hopefully get something sorted!
Im going to end up falling apart lol!!

 

[KarolinaMoon]

awww, I feel your pain!!! When my hip gives way it really hurts bad!!! I do alot of horseriding (though not now lol), so it could be that we are overly flexible! I also had a bad fall off a horse years ago and injured my hip area, so thinking that may have something to do with it too. Hopefully your GP can sort it for you!! He may refer you to a physio if it is really bad! Goodluck xxx

Unfortunately ladies hyperextension is exactly why you're feeling the pain. Hypermobility is why I have spd, I'm very flexible and have joints that go in weird directions! It is indeed the hormones loosening up ligaments and joints x
