Hi,
I understand your concern.
Relaxin ointment is released in early pregnancy , it increases in first 3 months as placental & pre placental tissues start adding to it's production. So the cause of hip joint pain in even 4th month of pregnancy is mostly Relaxin hormone.. How ever stress/ trauma/ old arthritis can contribute to it.
Relief is mostly by light yoga exercises/ walking exercises along with calcium & vitamin D supplementation.
Thanks.
