Hip Pain after 140 pounds lost. And also... where did this butt bone come from?!

[endless80 697]

So lately I've been having some hip discomfort. Primarily when I lay/sit down. I guess it doesn't help that I have absolutly no ass anymore and when I sit down on a hard surface I can feel my hips beneith me. Is this some big secret skinny people keep from the rest of the world?! That any hard surface is uncomfortable to sit on?

LOL but I digress... I hear that your hips lose the cushion of fat and start rearranging and causes discomfort. I'm also feeling a slight burning sensation running down my left leg which I attribute to my ciatic nerve due to the hip discomfort I've been experiencing. It doesn't HURT HURT (yet) but it's more of a discomfort.

Am I the only one? If not, has any of you seen a doctor about it? Excersizes or any recommendations? I will make an appoitment with my PCP but it wont be for at least another 2 weeks.

I would suggest seeing a chiropractor

If you don't get an adequate answer from your PCP, I would suggest seeing a sports med doc, (especially if you are active). They will likely do x-rays to make sure you don't have a mechanical problem and may offer PT or exercises to counter the issue. I say that as someone with hip displasia, (presented 20 years ago, but is degenerative to the cartilage and has caught up with me, even with the weight loss). I needed help designing an exercise routine that challenges me without exacerbating the damage. And yes! Hard surfaces are MUCH harder now!
