Hi everyone,

I suffered with spd from about 20 odd weeks pregnant and the pain went as soon as i gave birth to my daughter. However i had my first period since the birth a couple of weeks ago and now my hips keep getting really stiff and sore - very similar to spd pain.

Has anyone else had this?

Thanks

Yes I did for 11yrs! Every period I had the first two days I could hardly walk!

I had SPD with my first pregnancy but it wasn't diagnosed at the time cos 13yrs ago it wasn't a recognised condition. I wasn't treated for it and every month without fail it returned with my af.

Clearly I had no idea it was SPD ( I just thought more painful periods after a baby was normal as I was young and didn't question anything at the time!) and it wasn't until it was diagnosed in my last pregnancy all became clear.

Go back to your doc and see if they can treat it. I've had physio for months after TJ was born. I'm on the implant now so don't get periods but it was getting better before I had that put in once I was doing the physio. Also keep up the pelvic floor exercises
