Hyperparathyroidism Support Group
Hyperparathyroidism is overactivity of the parathyroid glands resulting in excess production of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Increased PTH consequently leads to increased serum calcium (hypercalcemia) due to 1) increased bone resorption, allowing flow of calcium from bone to blood, 2) reduces renal clearance of calcium, and 3) increases intestinal calcium absorption.
I hurt my right sacro illiac joint (where hip joins the lower back)over a year ago. I had physiotherapy on it but it still causes me pain and can get really stiff.
Lately, I've also been having pain in left hip. The right hip would sometimes feel like it moved out of place and would pop back into place.
Today, after watching a movie I went to get up and felt tremendous pain in my left hip. It felt like it had moved out of place. My left leg couldn't bear my weight and I could barely move my hip/leg at all. After hobbling to the bathroom and moving my hip around I heard and felt a pop. After the pop I was able to move it again. Both hips are still sore and stiff
. Can hyperparathyroidism cause hip/joint problems due to osteoporosis? My last dexa scan showed osteopenia.
I have the same problem with my left shoulder wanting to pop out and then move back in. I've hurt that shoulder several times in the past though torn rotator cuff and deep tissue bruising.

I have Osteopenia also and experience similar pain in my hips especially when standing from sitting. If you've had past trauma to these areas due to injury that will also need to be taken into consideration for the cause of pain. I had a shattered clavicle during my late teens and still have shoulder rotation/flexibility issues.
Most people who have had HPT disease report feeling a relief from skeletal/muscular pain shortly after surgery. If you continue to have pain and your Ca/PTH levels are normal then another cause for your issue may need to be examined.
I definitely hope things improve with a minimal amount of time. Dealing with that sort of pain can limit your desire and enjoyment for daily activities. I wish you the best.
