Hip pain at night

[cseidman 175]

I'm 24 days post op (sleeve) and in the past week I've started having the worst hip pain at night. If I sleep on my side, that hip will be excruciatingly painful in the morning. Anyone else experience this?

After surgery I found that I sleep much better if I slip a pillow between my legs when I sleep on my side at night.

I noticed I sleep better, period. I used to wake up several times a night to pee. (high sugar) now I sleep well!

I wonder if that hip pain could be related to the sciatic nerve. I've experienced hip and inner thigh pain from that. Luckily there are stretches that can be done to alleviate it. You could check with your gp.

I'm curious if you ever found out what was causing your hip pain. I'm two weeks out (SD 10/18/16) and about 5 days ago my outer right thigh starting aching. At first I thought it was from the Heparin shots the gave me in my right thigh. But then it felt like it was in my buttock I had my follow up visit and shared this with my doctor. She sent me on for xrays. She doesn't think it is the Sciatic nerve because I do have relief from time to time during the day. At night the pain is awful. On a scale from 1 to 10 I'm at a 10! So, I'm wondering if you found anything out or did it go away - and when did it go away?

I have two dogs.

One sleeps against my worn out right knee....she's warm and keeps the nighttime pains away.

The other sleeps on my blown out right shoulder. It is amazingly therapeutic.

They just pile up there when I get in bed. I've never coached them to do so.....but those are the EXACT spots I'd go for.

I sleep well thanks to my girls.

So......my advice......go forth and get yourself a pair of great dogs.

I had numbness and pain in my left thigh after surgery. I woke up with the pain. The surgeon thinks it is from the way I was positioned on the table during the surgery.

After months of pain, I tried a tube of capsaicin cream.

It stopped the pain after two days.
