Yes, I have had pain in and around the pelvis for several years now, while going through perimenopause. I’ve also had incontinence, which started in earnest just after going off birth control, so I knew it is hormone related.

Now that I have been diagnosed with hEDS, and know that hormone changes/imbalances play a huge part in worsening symptoms, this makes a lot of sense. I hope that the following things will help:

** The Integrative Movement Method (IMM) by Jeannie di Bon (The Zebra Club app)

** Working with my physical therapist to stabilize and strengthen the muscles that are doing all the work of my ligaments and tendons

** Nutritional and immune boosting supplements

I suspect I'm going through perimenopause, and I'm current dealing with pelvic instability akin to when I was actually pregnant! I have seen my doctor about this, and I am awaiting an initial PT appointment, and I have started water therapy classes. I'm beginning to wonder if I should talk to my ob/gyn about checking my hormone levels, and eventually, whether estrogen would help. I can't do a combined pill; I tried that and it make the joint laxity and dysautonomia/digestive issues worse for me,

Thank you for sharing what you feel may be helpful! 🙂
