Back/hip pain on Tirz - anyone else?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
The autoimmune arthritis possibility is worth pursuing with a rheumatologist specifically if back and hip involvement is the primary picture - standard inflammatory markers in bloodwork can miss seronegative forms, and the clinical picture requires a specialist to evaluate properly. This one isn't a wait-and-see situation.
 
the fat padding loss from the hips and tailbone is the structural change that produces this specific pain - the cushioning that was always there is gone and the bony prominences are now in direct contact with surfaces they were never in contact with before. an occupational therapist is exactly the right referral for this, since the approach is positioning and pressure redistribution rather than pain management. seat cushions, mattress toppers, and padding on the surfaces you sit on most are the practical fixes while the body adapts
 
Knees better than they had been in 20 years after a couple months on Tirz and wrist pain disappearing at 4 months is the anti-inflammatory pattern that is well-documented but doesn't hit everyone the same way. The OP getting back and hip pain instead of relief is the less common response worth tracking - hydration and dose timing can affect it, but if it's persistent it's worth flagging to the prescriber.
 
Had surgery on my ACL back around 2006. Two years in now running tirzepatide. Knee still aches whenever it's humid or rainy out. Just sharing my experience. Will update if it improves.
