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



Recommended Posts

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!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
