What is this pain in my hips?

[shrunkenhead]

I have had v achey hips for the past couple of days, I put it down to being on my feet a long time at work but have worked much longer shifts before and not had any problems. I suffered badly with SPD when I was pregnant but this cleared up the day after baby was born. I'm hoping it's just my dodgy hips but worried it might be something else.....has anyone else had this problem? It's worse lying down at night.

Have your periods recently returned by any chance? My SPD comes back 2 days before my period and goes again 2 days after it begins ....

have you changed your shoes lately... I thought I was going to need a double hip replacement when I bought some new flat boots... the pain disappeared when I stopped wearing them.

I was just doing a search before I posted about my apparent return of SPD. Had it in both pregnancies but it disappeared instantly after each baby was born. My youngest is now 3.4 & I've put on weight and been inactive recently (unhappy work situation/off with stress) & suddenly I have the painful groin again. To be fair, I could always feel it if I carried a child across a sandy beach or similar, but this isn't nice. Should I try to see a physio again?

Ragusa, I don't have periods as I have a contraceptive implant so not that.
Fun, I have changed my shoes from flat to v slight heel, so could be that.
Due to my work I am v active, although overweight.....I just don't know why it's come back now-and there's no possibility of me being pregnant!!!!
