Awful hip pain walking

[Lanzy]

i’m not the exercise type, lately started to feel my right side of back which unsure if it’s due to being side sleeper (always been) but also since birth. I’ve been leaning a lot whilst breastfeeding. Always had habit of slouching. My activity lately hasn’t been much other than changing baby, washing baby which definitely makes my back feel worse as leaning over. Usually do this on floor.

Now since yesterday a few steps around my flat and there is this awful sharp pain in my hip with walking - I never have hip issues but my mum has issues with her hip. She’s getting an op and now i’m panicking as 27 and this pain is limiting. I haven’t felt it any other time yet but walking definitely triggers. I’m not keen to rush to GP yet but just wondered if anyone had any idea?
The only other time I did some walking was on Saturday around shops but never felt it then and never felt it Sunday during the day. I also have been doing a lot of shimmying forward out of bed as next to me blocks side.

exercise vs none ahh

if you can see a physio.

tbh you really need to be more active in general.
physio can give you some exerises and stretches that will help and then you can go from there.

it's very possible that bad posture has lead to shortened muscles in the hip.

How old is your baby?
Relaxin from pregnancy/ birth losens the joints and can destabilise them and that can continue longer during breastfeeding.

Post-natal pilates may help with general core strength and stability.
Physio/ osteopath is a good shout for identifying the issue, and strategies to correct it.

I had SPD/ PGP in pregnancy and post-natally and a few sessions at the osteopath when I was still struggling 3m postnatally did a lot to ease the pain and stop me limping.

thank you! She’s now 11 weeks! And been fine up until this weekend - definitely could be all the nappy changing and bad posture :(( i’ll get booked in with osteo! Xx
