Hip and Pelvic Girdle Pain
Overview of hip and pelvic girdle pain:
Pelvic girdle pain can affect the hips, pubic bone, and sacroiliac joints, often making movement and stability difficult. It’s common during and after pregnancy but can occur at any stage of life.
Common Causes:
Hormonal changes in pregnancy
Muscle imbalances
Joint instability or misalignment
Previous injury or surgery
Impact on daily life:
Climbing stairs, rolling over in bed, or even walking to the mailbox can feel exhausting. The unpredictability of pain can make you feel dependent on others, impacting confidence and independence.
