While the forum is now closed, we have left it intact because of the amazing amount of important data it has collected over its fifteen year life. It is searchable and we encourage women to make use of it.
Questions should be directed to the Whole Woman Community Message Board going forward.
Many thanks to everyone who made use of the forum and took the time and effort to help out others who often came to Whole Woman in a dark place, desperate for information, and came away with hope, encouragement, and the tools they needed to stabilize and reverse their conditions.
You have all made a difference here.
Best wishes,

Hip pain
Does the hips DVD make things feel better, or worse? We can't give you medical advice here (you'd need to book a consult with Christine). -- Surviving

Yoga DVD for hips
I think that the first WW yoga DVD is good for hips issues, if I remember well.. of course if you choose to take care of your self with the WW approach the hips DVD is probably very important. Wish you well!

Yoga and things....
Thanks ladies. I do not have the hips DVD but I have all 3 yoga dvds and had been doing them a lot but I have stopped because I'm worried it makes the pain worse. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. Off to the docs and physio I guess?!

Hi Variable,
Hi Variable,
It could be the sacroiliac joint causing the problem. That is the usual suspect for most of us women, and when it acts up, it is very hard to do anything else. I used to go to the Chiropractor for it quite regularly, but haven't had to for quite some time. I'm past having a child on my hip and the hard labor I used to do that always made it act up the most.
Now if I have some nagging in my hip, I'll do the pigeon pose which gives my whole hip a nice stretch, and of course, I continue with my first aid and yoga DVDs, but I wouldn't suggest you do that until you get this sorted out.
Hope that helps some,
Best wishes.
