Hip Pain?

[hannahsue01]

I am not sure where to post this but anyway. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or they know what is wrong? Starteing back a little over 5 years ago when I was pregnent with my first daughter my hip would pop out of place when I laid down on my back but would go back in as soon as someone helped me up. I was told it was just due to my hips widening for the baby. So I ovoided laying on my back and didn't think much of it. This continied but was't as frequent for untill my second preganancy about a year ago when it became frequent again. The problem now is for about the last month it keeps going out and is now exrtreamly painful when it does.....it has a dull ache when it is not. It goes out usually for a few hours at a time. I can kinda feel that it is going to happen before it does....kinda wierd. When it happens I can hardly walk but still can with allot of pain. I can't turn around when standing up because I can't move my leg. It is extreamly hard to move my leg forward on the affected side. If I lay down on my back I can not get up by myself or move my leg without help. I donno if this is related to celiac at all or not. I don't know if my hip is actually popping out of place. I am just hoping someone might have an idea what the problem is. Thanks

I don't know if it is popping out or not, but I have a major problem with my right hip. It seizes up on me frequently, and is extremely painful. For me it is one of my many ongoing issues......

My hip dosen't pop out, but I had a lot of pain in my right hip prior to diagnosis. It was much worse when I'd wake up in the morning--it was difficult to turn over, even.

It went away the longer I was gluten-free, but recently the left hip has begun to do the same thing. I don't know what's causing it, or if it's at all related to the Celiac. I thought it was, but now I'm not sure.

You need to talk to your doctor. The ligaments and muscles holding your hip joint in place may be stretched and/or stressed, so they are not working properly. There could also be a problem with the joint that needs to be fixed. I'm sure it must be frustrating to not be able to move!

that sounds familiar to me!!! i first had hip problems with my second pregnancy----i would sometimes limp because of the pain. during my 5th pregnancy both hips hurt when i walked for about 2 months. it carried on for some time (years) after my pregnancies.

i think it is probably not celiac related (i don't have celiac). it is probably just your hip joint loosening up (not spreading). there is a chemical that is released in your body when you are pregnant that makes your ligaments and such loosen up in preparation for delivering a baby. if you wear braces when you are pregnant your teeth will move faster because of this same chemical.

Hi. I have been experiencing a similar problem since late in my pregnancy and I am now 10 months pp. I agree with chrissy's post above where she states that the cause is probably due to widening of the pelvic are a and the role of chemicals in taht process (relaxin, I think). I am 2 days into a gluten-free diet and I have terrible body apin, not just in my hip, so I am wondering if the diet will improve things. I had a tough time finding info on the hip pain, but I have included a link that I found very helpful. Hope that you feel better!
