I'm 2 years out from my sleeve and I've lost 130 pounds. Everything is great but I've had really bad hip pain for 1 year. I've had X-rays and an MRI that showed only some degeneration between 2 vertebrae. Anyone else had this problem?

Hey! I'm 9 months out and have lost 94lbs. I've had really bad hip pain for about 3-4 months. Massage therapist said to get more active. I'm trying! Something about my bursa being inflamed and weak muscles. Hoping exercise will help. It hurts when I put my foot on top of the opposite knee and push down on bent knee, if that makes sense.

I have hip bursitis. In fact, it hurts now and most days. I do my best to not work it, so I do weights mainly. It hurts pretty bad when inflamed. Rest makes it feel better. The worse thing you can do is exercise it..it'll get more inflamed and hurt even worse. Rest it. This advice is from the doc and my lovely father who practices physical therapy. I know your MT was probably meaning well but that was the worst advice for an inflamed bursa!! I had tests and numerous appts over this...please rest it. I can't stress that enough

Unfortunately, weight isn't what causes it, its repetitive movement. I believe mine is from all the years of working out, did the elliptical like a machine for a long while too.

Im praying it just gets healed. Although I WAS taking pain meds for it and doing physical therapy. Even got a cortisone shot that helped, but that doc says "do more PT first, if it doesn't help, then come back" well, I don't like PT so I haven't been back. It was painful but I know I should go back. Anyway, I'm trailing on...sorry.

Hope you find comfort.

I have hip bursitis as well [emoji58] Have been told to train normally as long as the pain is under 3 out of 10... I have also been given some exercises that I do every day. All this by a physio therapist. I find it ironic that I get issues like this after loosing 50 kg...

I am traveling to continue my Camino Santiago on Monday and will be walking around 30km a day for 9 days and hope the hip is on my side.

This must be why I still do my workouts ignoring the pain anyway....I don't do vigorous ones, cardio wise, and my pain stay relatively low. If it's too high, there's no way I'm working out. Glad you weighed in on this...

WOW there are a lot of pain going on. Now I don't have my hips hurt to bad I do have all over pain due t my Fibromylgia and arthritis. After I had my RNY I started having bad problems with my knee's. Come to find out I have ARTHUR> When I ask my DR why it waited till I had lost 124#'s, my Dr told me that I would'nt of been able to walk I would have been in a wheelchair. Scary stuff. I have had Ultrasound Guided Gel shots. At first it helped so much but not so much now. I have to sleep with a pillow between my knee's at night. I have boney knee;s now. Not compllaining much. LOL Everyone has their owies don't we. All I can say is KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!
