Hi, I’ve been suffering with painful hips especially when I exercise or walk
Yesterday I had a walk and my hips were so painful afterwards
Is this menopause does anyone else suffer with this after exercise or a long walk

[Stockport1965]

Me! It started about 8 months ago. I do walk a lot though. I wondered if the aches and pains were lack of hormone related. I was hoping HRT might have helped

Hi Bella
Thankyou for your reply, I’ve had this pain for a long time , my hips ache and are so stiff , I’m not on HRT as yet I’m not  sure of it would help but I’m booking an appointment with a menopause Dr
Yesterday I had a steady three hour walk with my friend who is the same age as me , my hips are so painful today maybe I over did it , but it was great to be out in the sunshine & catch up
I do take a vit D daily but it hasn’t helped with my pain

I had painful hips, no problem with other joints. I assumed they were just wearing out but the pain has gone since being on hrt so presumably meno related. Mine didn't get much worse with exercise though.

Hi Sheila99 , hope that I haven’t got arthritis 😞 I’ve done a lot of research on HRT I’m hoping that it works for me
I love walking but the pain keeps me awake at night , I bought a wedge to align my spine but I find it uncomfortable

[PippaSM]

Yes! Looking back, it was actually one of my first perimenopause symptoms, but I didn’t know it at the time.
Mine are always worse at night, in bed, and I’ve ended up propping my legs up on a million cushions.
I’ve just started HRT so hoping it will ease off. I find staying active helps but there’s a fine line between keeping moving and overdoing it. I’ve yet to find that line

Hip pain is felt in the groin.  Deep.   Back pain can radiate across the area that most of us call 'hips': pelvic bones, lower back, down the sciatic nerve.

Good footwear is essential, even slippers  . As ostrogen levels drop muscles may become lax = aches and pains.  Take a pain relief B4 walking to ease any residual pain and make sure that footwear is appropriate to the terrain. 

How is your sitting position?  Also do you need a new mattress ..........

[Trixiebell]

Thankyou all for your replies menopause sucks 😞
I had a three hour walk yesterday which I’m not used to my hips ached afterwards especially last night when I was in bed
It’s odd because today I’ve had a tummy ache all day which I don’t suffer with .

I usually wear good supportive trainers I think my posture is ok , we recently bought a new Vispring bed which is a medium but tbh I prefer a softer mattress

[CLKD]

Where do you feel the pain ?

[Trixiebell]

Hi ckld the pain is down the sides of my hips tops of thighs
I’ve just taken two paracetamol, in the hope that I get a better nights sleep

[CLKD]

That's back pain 

[Trixiebell]

Back pain down my sides 🤷‍♀️
I’ve got a phone consultation with my gp next Friday to discuss the pain

[CLKD]

Referred pain .......... as an Orthopaedic Secretary it took me a while to remember that hip pain originates from deep in the groin areas.  Sciatica 4 me is when I don't bend correctly: i.e. putting on the dog's lead, weeding in the borders, sitting incorrectly. 

[sheila99]

That's where my pain was trixiebel.

Yes me! I didn’t know it was hormone related until it went away when I started HRT. What a relief! I had other achy bits too that went away with HRT.
