Hey, I am having pain in both of my hips and was wondering if it was due to having excess skin hanging from my stomach. I have lost 92 lbs and thought the pain would be going away. I can't afford plastic surgery. I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with this.

I have hip pain on one side, but I think my hip pain is attributed to them being misaligned. This started after I had my first daughter and it progressively got worse with the second baby. I also have pain in my tailbone too now, I'm currently looking for a chiropractor. A bad mattress can hurt your hips as well. Maybe the excess skin on your tummy is pulling your lower back so your walking differently? Call your surgeon or PCP or even try to find a chiropractor. I hope this helps and I hope your hip pain goes away.

Thanks!

I have pain in my upper right thigh/hip when sitting and I thought it might be contributed to my hanging skin that is partially sitting on my lap when I'm sitting. That's a good question and one that I need to ask my Dr. about.
