Hip Pain when sleeping

I have had it for a couple of years and it is only at night when lying down. Tonight I can't get comfortable at all and they are both killing me. I had a feeling it wasn't 100% weight but maybe hoping kinda sorta IYKWIM

Guess I better see the GP before I go insane from lack of sleep

Thanks ladies it is so nice to know I am not alone with my funny body LOL

Glenmaree I'm riddled with osteoarthritis (have had lots of ortho surgery for it), so I think GP just saw the report had more arthritis in it and left it at that. Annoys me a bit that I've been putting off seeing ortho cause he always has gone on about my wt. Oh well onward and upward so they say!

Hi
Welcome to my world. I am about to undergo my second course of cortisone injections into the bursa as I have bursitis in both hips. Tolerable during the day unless I do a lot of walking and total unmitigated misery at night. I have had it four about 3 years and like you I put it down to being overweight. 60 plus kilos lighter and it is worse than ever. Early intervention is the key so see your GP, the condition is easily diagnosed with ultrasound.

Ironically I saw my ortho today for hip issues!
Is it ok during the day and worse when lying down?
Well mine is and it is a burr I need about 8 weeks physio - better than the hip replacement the Gp told me I needed!
I'd recommend seeing your gp & having some xrays, it maybe something that wt loss won't affect. I've been putting up with mine for 12mths, thinking they'd just say loose wt well almost 30kg down and no better and I could have had it sorted out ages ago.

Does anyone else get woken by severe hip pain at night?

I sleep on my side (alternate) and have been plagued by really painful hips during the night. So bad sometimes I have to sleep in the recliner chair to get relief.

I am guessing it is from my weight and it does not matter what bed I sleep in either.
