anybody else experiencing this?

Question

I'm 36+1 & experiencing a clicking noise in my hips every time I toss & turn. & randomly getting sharp pains on my right side. Anybody else?

Answer

It's not something I'm experiencing with my pregnancy,  but in the past I've had snapping hip syndrome which then caused trachonteric bursitis.  Snapping hip is a clicking or snapping in your hip area which is caused by tendons on the outside of your hip/leg being tight over a part of your leg bone called the trochanter. Instead of flowing smoothly like they should,  a tight tendon pulls tight then moves in a snap which is audible. It could be caused in pregnancy by your hips starting to widen but the tendon not softening enough to accommodate the extra distance it has to cover. Sometimes the tendon being tight and rubbing against the bursa on your trochanter can cause inflammation and pain in the bursa.   For most people the condition is relatively minor and short lived and can be dealt with using some anti inflammatory drugs and some physiotherapy or a steroid injection.
