Hip pain while sleeping

Just switched from performasleep to a tempurpedic for this exact reason.
That and stretching has made the pain go away.

Do more hip mobility exercises and maybe take some Magnesium?

90/90 Hip Stretch, Lying Hip Rotations, and Deep Lunges.

I walk two miles daily and do some gym work, kettle ball squats at times.

I’m having this terrible pain in my right hip but only in the middle of the night, once I get up it stops.

The pain is bad enough to wake me up nearly every night.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like nerve issue

Been there done that. Small pillow between knees as u are a side sleeper. Lay off the heavy workouts few weeks Do more hip range of motion stretching exercises . Good luck.

Nighttime hip pain that resolves upon getting up could be related to conditions like bursitis, arthritis, or sleeping posture.

My bet is bursitis. I've had it in the hip and it hurts like hell. But obviously visit someone that specializes in musculoskeletal conditions (i.e. like an Orthopedic Surgeon. I've been going to one that specializes in Sports Medicine).

Possible remedies if it persists:

Ice it down for 15-20 minutes if inflammation is suspected.

Gentle hip stretches (e.g., hip flexor or piriformis stretches) before bed may reduce stiffness.

Anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen.

I have also received a corticosteroid injection to treat bursitis-related hip pain. The injection targets the inflamed bursa near the hip joint to reduce pain and swelling.

Sounds like bursitis to me. I had this and got a cortisone shot and that alleviated me waking up at night in pain and made most of the pain go away.

Its slowly coming back after 6 months where i wake up in the morning in pain. I know the next step is it will wake me up in the middle of the night like last time.

Sleeping on the other hip does help.

I'm late 40's and still work out and play basketball a few nights a week. So, i know until i stop basketball its something I'll have to deal with.

I need to do better with stretching before bed though.

I cannot stress the importance of collagen protein for joint health. It will knock out joint pain in less than a week.

I get the bucket of Vital Proteins they have at Sam's, it's been fine for me.

A couple months after I started working out, I developed a pain in the outer portion of my left thigh. When the pain hit, it felt like my thigh was being stabbed with a hot poker. It was absolute fire burning my thigh. Often times this would happen in the middle of the night; I'd go from dead asleep to wide awake in pain instantly. After searching the web and speaking to my doctor, he concluded it was most likely Meralgia Paresthetica.

I was very overweight (still am just to a lesser extent) and hadn't really worked out in 20 years. I think my body was adapting to the workouts and packed on muscle pretty quickly in my legs. That caused the nerve compression leading to the burning sensation. The pain eventually went away, but it did take several months.

You didn't really describe your pain other than the hip and it occurs at night. Sharing my experience incase it matches your symptoms.
