I get hip pain and I know someone else posted about this not too long ago. Different explanations from different people. Depending on the type of pain it could be sciatica, also common in women with endo or it could be endo that has spread to those joints. Either way it sucks. Mine is more towards the lower back, but right at the top of the hip joints.

Hope you feel better soon!

mine is like at the joint. i have to put lots and lots of pressure on it when it gets as bad as it did tonight while i was walking home from work i thought i was going to collapse on the side of the road and start crying.

That's where mine is and it's always worse when cramping or having "flare ups". If you're not experiencing pain that runs from your hip down your leg, it's not likely sciatica as far as I know. Sounds like endo related stuff to me. I know that feeling :(

ugh i am so sick of this stupid disease. im 20 years old and i feel like im 100. :( im so sick of always being in pain :'(

Yup. That was one of my major endo symptoms before I was diagnosed. Of course not many doctors considered it a symptom and most thought I was crazy. Luckily, I ended up in a dr's office who knew it was a symptom of endo.

My hip pain got significantly better after my lap, but it still comes back every now and then. It gets very tender to the touch. Not much you can do about it, aside from taking anti-inflammatories and using the heating pad. My dr gave me lidocaine patches to put on my hips, but I don't think they really worked.

Hope you feel better!!

You may want to get a referral to a good physical therapist (get one who was trained in the last 10 yrs, they have learned a lot recently).

I went 3 yrs ago when my back pain started, and it turned out that my pelvis was rotated. The doc worked with me to correct it, and it did help. The surgery helped the most for my pains...but wouldn't it be cool if your pelvis was out of place, and putting it back in place helped?

Hope this helps.

I have never had hip pain but i do get really bad lower back pain... also i have had body aches all over so im sure it can cause hip pain as well because it is in the same region

i totally forget about heating pads i have a rice sock type thing and i get too lazy to go up and down stairs to reheat it all the time. lol ill just have to get an electric one cuz hot showers help so heating pad would be more cost efficient. my lap didnt really do much for me it made my cramps tolerable for a month and thats about it.

i was thinking about going to a chiropractor (i cant spell for my life) it feels like it needs to pop if that makes sense? ive tried making it pop myself but i cant get it to budge next thought was bf. so maybe it is out of place....

i get body aches when its bad.
