    Default 9 month after sleeve and hips are killing me

    I am 9 months post sleeve, have lost 103 pounds and trying to workout daily but my hips are killing me. This started at 6 months and doctor told me to be more faithful to my exercise routine. I am trying to workout 5 days a week but I'm having severe hip pain. Anybody else have this? Doctor thinks it could just be arthritis.

    I have hip bursitis in my right hip that started recently when I have been trying to run longer and faster on the treadmill. It is excruciating and I can barely walk the day after I run. I'm trying to do hip exercises that stretch out the muscle there and do get some relief. Any chance it could be bursitis in you? I did go to an orthopedic doctor and got a steroid shot in the hip and that did help some, but have to keep up with the stretching or pain is persistent.

    I ride bike and swim, which keeps my hip pain under control. Mine still hurt when I walk a long time but it is so much better. I didn't think they would ever feel any better. I know I have arthritis, but a lot of it was caused by inactivity. If you are pounding the pavement (or treadmill) you might find relief with a bicycle.

    If you can, get an appointment with a physical therapist - and if not, find a really good trainer. If the exercise is causing the pain, it might be an imbalance in the muscles (one group getting too tight). They can check your form, look at your motion and help correct anything that you are dong wrong. I got orthotics, and it's helped a great deal. Hope you get some answers!

    What are you doing for exercises?...
    Are you stretching out?...
    As was said,, you could goto an orthopedic Dr. And see if you should get cortisone shots, the shots should take away pain up to 3 months or more. Their is another injection that's call (synvisc) its a 3 stage injection. Lasts atleast 6 months to a year, minimum. I get all those in both knees, elbow

    Make sure you are doing hip flexor stretching, it's a hard area to stretch, Id suggest seeing a chiropractor and taking a Glucosamine supplement, it really helps me.
