Extreme hip pain!
Hi ladies!! So I have ehlers danlos syndrome and I’ve posted about it before. But even before pregnancy I had lower back and hip pain to where if I did to much in the day then I’d be limping by might fall. Well the closer I get to my due date (I’m almost 31 weeks) the more extreme the pain is getting. It went from only hurting if I did a ton or had a really hard day at work and would hurt only really at night once I relaxed. Well now it’s getting to the point to where I’m having hip pain and popping even when I’m not physically active during the day or even doing dishes or cleaning up sends me in pain. And today I’m at work and I’ve been here for barely 3 hours and I’m already in excruciating pain from my hips and they keep popping (I work 12 hour shifts) non of the stretches or tips are working anymore and neither is medicines. I tried bringing this up with my OB but she just ignored my questions last appointment so I’m going to bring it up to my high risk doctor this upcoming Thursday. But it’s getting to the point to where I can’t side shuffle, balance on one foot, move anything with one foot (like kick something out of the way), sitting hurts, standing up from sitting is very painful, and sometimes it’s almost impossible to even walk because my legs give out on me and is severe pain. Am I still going to be able to work up until delivery? I just feel like everyday it’s getting worse. Will they take me off work for something like this or what are some of the options they’ll give me to help me throughout the rest of my pregnancy. At my last OB appointment I asked her about the pelvic wellness center for pregnancy we have at our hospital and she acted like she had no clue what I was talking about. My hips feel extremely unstable
