Down 45lbs and hips hurting

[sars 7]

I'm down 45lbs since my surgery on Dec.17. In the last two weeks, my hips have begun to hurt really bad. The only thing I can think is that I'm crossing my legs more? It's so bad it has made many nights sleepless.

I do exercise 3-4 times weekly (Zumba)

Anyone else experience this?

Fast weight loss itself can cause aches and pains. I had aches in my collar bones of all places.

I know many on here have experienced this same problem, myself included. And it is most likely due to more movement and positioning of the hips. Plus, I have a desk job so it causes my hips to get tight. I found these stretches on Pinterest and do them before and after I work out. It helps A LOT! My hips hurt after first doing them but once I get up and start moving around they feel a lot better! They have definitely helped.

I discovered mine started to hurt especially in the morning. Well it was my mattress digging into my hip bones, I had to get a cushioned cover.

My joints hurt for a long time, especially when my weight loss was rapid early out. I also had balance issues and kept running into walls. Your body takes time to adjust to your weight loss and it sometimes seems like it's getting worse rather than better. I actually was kind of ticked when I started having knee pain really bad, but that pain is now gone and my legs are very muscular nowadays. I sometimes still catch myself walking like I did when I was heavier, with short, mincing steps. If I readjust my stride and take longer steps, my knees don't hurt.

I had a similar thing happen - hip and back pain got worse for awhile there.

I was told it had to do with changing center of gravity etc. I think keep moving, exercising and give it some time.

Now that I am at goal, it is much better. I still have back issues (lifelong problem) but not too bad!

Hope you feel better soon.
