Hi bees. I recently was looking around for info about hip growth and hrt, and read that it may happen, but even if then not really noticible. However for like a week now I feel my hips hurt, like substencialy and they give me trouble walking, stadning and stuff and even sleeping. And I am almost sure it is growth. But isnt it too painful? Should it be that way, and can I ease it somehow?
Edit:
I have noticed that when I walk and sway my hips more it is less painful to walk, but it takes getting used to
Thanks in advace :3
I mean, I remember when I felt exactly the way you’re feeling right now, and that it absolutely gets better. You will figure everything out for yourself and you’re gonna feel great. Just please… keep on keeping on. Don’t do any self-harm type things if you can avoid it. Rely on your support network. Remember that you’re super fucking strong and amazing too! It’s not easy being trans, and you’re out here being brave as hell. People often say that but they don’t really understand the weight. I do. I think you are gonna be just fine long-term.
right now I am coping with my depresive states by weed and alcohol, but friends are getting worried about that
Practice moderation. The alcohol makes your body suffer and that can possibly actually slow down your HRT.
but its the only thing that brings me ease
That’s substance abuse, and a serious concern for your health. Practice harm reduction as much as possible, particularly with the alcohol.
Idk how really
For alcohol: drink fewer than 3 drinks per day, always give your body 2-3 days without alcohol to recover, and drink a glass of water for every drink.
1 drink is equal to:
Drink no more than 3 of these units per day and make sure you take 3 days off per week so your body can heal. Drink lots of water.
For cannabis:
