I get hip pain that wakes me in the night, if I do too much it's really bad. I've found I cannot sit too long as it hurts more so by getting up and moving around a bit helps as does gentle exercise but if I overdo it wow do I know about it. They have giving me xrays and cannot find anything physically wrong with my hip and that's how they knew it was deffo FM. I do get injections into the nerve every so often through the pain clinic and this helps as does a lovely hot water bottle which I'm permanently attached to most of the time. I wear a hop belt that I bought through Amazon when it starts throbbing but these are only meant to be worn in short bursts and not overnight. A cushion between my knees helps when I sleep in bed too😊💜💐 hope some of this is helpful to you as I feel your pain, big hugs 🤗

I ended up with bursitis in my hip, somewhere along the way I moved wrong, and the tendon separated from the bone. Very painful, and have to use a cain. My doctor thinks the pain will get better if I walk more...nope, if I walk around Walmart, I have to take the day off of work to recover from grocery shopping.

When I got diagnosed with FM the doctor checked all the pressure points. I can’t remember how many there are but every spot she touched was very painful.
I wake up at night from a sound sleep because my hip is hurting so bad. It isn’t always the same hip. It brings tears to my eyes.
I’m so sick of hurting all the time. I was diagnosed over 20 yrs ago.

PhyllisJeanAdams- besides the trigger points on my hips I also have bursitis in them. I kept waking up all night, too. I went on gabapentin several years ago. It took awhile but it doesn't wake me up as much. Best wishes

Count me in. I get the burning pain in my hips and knees as a side sleeper. I use a pillow as a cushion between my knees to my ankles. It helps a little. If I roll onto my back, it relieves the hip pain for a little while, then I have to roll to the other hip. Well, I also have a cat that will lay on me as soon as I roll onto my back. She reminds my bladder to act up and puts pressure on my tailbone, in spite of the pillow under my knees and calves.
